Anything done with knowledge, with faith in teachers and in scriptures and according to the principles of the Upaniṣads is more fruitful.” Chāndogya Upaniṣad (I.i.10) says “Knowledge and ignorance produce different results. Upaniṣads are also known as jñāna kāṇḍa that imparts Supreme knowledge and is capable of revealing the Brahman. Upaniṣads are the latter part of Vedas and deals with the Supreme knowledge. As Śri Mātā, She knows the extent to which Śiva can be revealed. She takes Her devotes in front of Śiva for ultimately revealing Him to them. The blinding light and conflagration of the Brahman cannot be endured without Her grace. Śaktī alone is capable of revealing the Brahman. Without Her aid, Śiva can never be realised. Upaniṣads are the tools that impart knowledge. By attaining such knowledge one is able to realise the Brahman. ud is used for implying superiority in place, rank or power and guṣṭā means announcing. This nāma says that all the Upaniṣads announce Her glory. A liberated soul is not born again as it merges with the Brahman. Heaven is only a temporary sojourn for the soul, which has to re-enter earth for further births. Salvation or liberations is different from mokṣa or the heaven. Living beings are afflicted by birth, old age and ultimate death. She provides solace to such beings.
