ISAVASYOPANISHAD |
|
Oh Sun, who art
our Nourisher, Giver of Knowledge, Dispenser of Justice, Giver of light, Son of the
Creator, disperse thy rays, draw in thy light, so that I may be enabled to behold thy most
beautiful form. I am that same Person as makes thee who thou art.
16
As for my body:
My body will be reduced to ashes and my breath will join the deathless moving Winds. Oh
Mind, remember thy acts.
17
The formula-I am the person that is seen m that refulgent form-occurs slightly modified in
Chhandogya Upanishad also. The insistence is on the realization of the all-inclusive
Oneness of the Soul, the Universe. The Spirit in the Sun is the same as myself! A daily
repetition and contemplation of this truth is prescribed as an aid in life to detachment,
elevation of Spirit and Self-realization.
4. Vidya and Avidya are phrases presenting considerable difficulty and the context does
not help to clarity doubts. But I venture to think that the purport of the two slokas is
what I have given above. |
