English annotation by Vishnudut1926:
These boring, torturing and frightening Upanishads are mainly for demons. There are some inspiring verses (I will devote the special post to them), but predominantly these Upanishads are Advaitic, that is Asuric and Nastik.
Bhakti-Yogs don't follow to the Advaitic part of the Sannyasa-Upanishads, because Bhagavan Shree Krishna said in the Verse 12.5 of "Shree Bhagavad Gita".
"Those whose minds are attached to the impersonal feature experience great difficulty, because for those who identify the body with the self, it is difficult to develop steadiness in something that is not manifest".
Tika by Shree Shreemad Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakur: “How, then, are the jnanis inferior?” In response to Arjuna’s question, Shree Bhagavan speaks this verse beginning with klesho ’dhikataras teñam.
“Those who desire to experience the unmanifest Brahman (infinite spirit) must undergo extreme difficulty to attain it. It is troublesome for the jiva to try to perceive something that has no manifest existence.
The senses are only able to gain knowledge from that which has attributes pertaining to the respective senses, such as sound.
They are unable to attain knowledge of that which is devoid of qualities, or attributes.”
It is essential for those who desire nirvishesha-jnana, knowledge of the impersonal aspect of the Absolute, to control the senses, but to do so is as difficult as suppressing the flow of a river.
As Sanat Kumara says to Prthu Maharaja in Shreemad-Bhagavatam (4.22.39),
“The devotees can easily cut the knot of the heart, which consists of fruitive desires, by remembering with devotion the effulgence of the petal-like toes of the lotus feet of Bhagavan.
The yogis, however, who are bereft of Bhakti, are not able to cut the knot of the heart as devotees can, even though they are free from any mundane enjoying propensity and can control their senses.
Therefore, give up the separate endeavour to control the senses, etc., and engage in the worship of Shree Vasudeva.
Those who practise yoga and other processes, desiring to cross this ocean of material existence, which is filled with the crocodiles of the senses, must face extreme difficulties if they fail to take shelter of Bhagavan.
Therefore, O King, you should also accept the lotus feet of the most worshipable Bhagavan as the boat in which to cross this insurmountable ocean that is full of obstacles.”
Even if, after much trouble, one achieves nirvishesha-Brahman, the featureless aspect of Absolute Spirit, it happens only with the help of Bhakti.
Without Bhakti to Bhagavan, the worshipper of the impersonal Brahman not only undergoes misery but also fails to attain Brahman.
As Lord Brahman said,
“The only gain of a person who beats an emptied husk of rice is the trouble he takes to beat it” (Shreemad-Bhagavatam 10.14.4).
