According to the Mundaka Upanishad, one should acquire two forms of knowledge: the apara(lower) and para(higher). The lower consists of four vedas (ritualistic portions) and their six auxillaries. It deals with the phenomenal universe. Lower knowledge is conductive to a man's material welfare but its results are not permanent. The Higher knowledge is that by which the Imperishable Substance is known. This Imperishable Substance was given the name Brahman and hence the higher knowledge was also called Brahmavidya, the knowledge of Brahman, and this is the knowledge to which was given the general name Upanishad.
