The Taittiriya Upanishad, part of the Yajur Veda, primarily focuses on the concept of Brahman as the ultimate reality, describing it as "Truth, Knowledge, and Infinite Bliss," and explaining that everything in the universe, including the individual self, is a manifestation of this Brahman; it notably introduces the "five sheaths" theory, detailing different layers of human consciousness, from the physical body to the pure Self, and emphasizes the importance of seeking liberation through understanding and realizing this underlying unity through practices like meditation and self-inquiry.
Divided into three sections: Siksha Valli (focuses on phonetics and pronunciation), Brahmananda Valli (discusses the nature of Brahman), and Bhrigu Valli (narrates the story of Bhrigu, who attains realization of Brahman through penance)
The core message is that the true self is Brahman, which is beyond the limitations of the physical world and can be accessed through spiritual practice and self-knowledge
