They form the wisdom portion or Gnana-Kanda of the Vedas. In each of the four great Vedas known as Rik, Yajur, Sama and Atharva—there is a large portion which deals predominantly with rituals and ceremonials, and which has for its aim to show man how by the path of right action he may prepare himself for higher attainment. Following this in each Veda is another portion called the Upanishad, which deals wholly with the essentials of philosophic discrimination and ultimate spiritual vision.engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)EducationUpanishadsHindu ethicsCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalPhilosophical ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsSocial ethicsFamily ethicsEducation and ethicsEthnicity and ethicsArticle
