He encourages readers to trust their own instincts and to seek their own truth, rather than following the opinions of others. He also explores the idea of the ""oversoul"", a universal spirit that connects all living beings, and the importance of spiritual growth and self-improvement.The poems in Parnassus reflect many of the same themes as the essays, with a focus on the beauty of nature, the importance of individualism, and the search for spiritual enlightenment. Some of the most famous poems in the collection include ""The Rhodora"", ""Brahma"", and ""The Sphinx"".Overall, Parnassus is a thought-provoking and inspiring collection of essays and poems that continue to be widely read and studied today.
