Hinduism
The Vedas are liturgical, the Brahmanas are explanatory of the ritual,
and the Upanisads are devoted to the Brahma-doctrine or Theologia Mystica,
which is taken for granted in the liturgy and ritual. The Brahma Sutra is a greatly
condensed compendium of Upanisad doctrin, and the Bhagavad Gita
is an exposition adapted to the understanding of those whose primary business
has to do with the active rather than the contemplative life.
