It purports to be an Upanishad of the Atharva Veda and can hardly be described as other than a forgery. It declares that "the Allah of the prophet Muhammad Akbar is the God of Gods" and identifies him with Mitra, Varuṇa, the sun, moon, water, Indra, etc.
This particular Upanishad deals chiefly with the Invisible Cause and the visible manifestation, and the whole trend of its teaching is to show that they are one and the same, one being the outcome of the other hence no perfect knowledge is possible without simultaneous comprehension of both.
Arguments like this were not condemned by the Brahmans so strongly as we should expect, but they did not like them and though they did not excommunicate the Sâṅkhya in the same way as Buddhism, they greatly preferred a theistic variety of it called Yoga. The Yoga and Sâṅkhya are mentioned together in the Śvetâśvatara Upanishad, and the Bhagavad-gîtâ says that he sees truly who sees them as one.
