Isavasya upanishad – Mantra -1
|
|
ॐ ईशावास्यमिद गुं सर्वं यत् किञ्च जगत्यां जगत् | तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृध: कस्य स्विद् धनम् || १
|
|
Isha-by the Lord: aavasyam-controlled: idam-this: sarvam-all: yat
kincha-whatever: jagatyaam-within the universe: jagat-all that is animate and
inanimate: tena-by Him: tyaktena-set apart quota: bhunjithaah-you should
accept: maa-do not: grdhah-endeavour to gain: kasya svit-of anyone else:
dhanam-the wealth.
|
|
Everything
animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by
the Lord. One should therefore accept
only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his quota,
and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they belong.

Isha Upanishad says.... Ishavasyam idam sarvam...
we all (animate and inanimate) are creations from him....
Thaitriya Upanishad says.... "yato vaacho nivartante, appraapya manasaa sa ...." ..... which means ...... that Isha the supreme Brahman is beyond words of description and is also beyond thinking of mind....
Thaitriya Upanishad says.... "yato vaacho nivartante, appraapya manasaa sa ...." ..... which means ...... that Isha the supreme Brahman is beyond words of description and is also beyond thinking of mind....
So we his creation are just a minuscule, insignificant part of that Supreme Lord Brahman, devoid of the powers of Creation, Sustenance & Annihilation.
If one thinks that he himself is Brahman ..... he is endowed with Asuric & Rakshasik qualities and becomes one like Hiranyakasipu, Ravana .... etc.,
Even if one considers that after Liberation / moksha one will merge with Brahman and lose its identity .... Bhagavad gita which is extract of Upanishads says... in chapter-2 Sankya Yoga.
verse - 23 - The Atman can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor can be burnt by fire, nor moistened by water nor withered by wind.

verse - 23 - The Atman can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor can be burnt by fire, nor moistened by water nor withered by wind.
Verse -24 - The individual soul is unbreakable, insoluble and can neither be burnt, nor dried. Atman is everlasting, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
In spite of all the teachings of Bhagavan Krishna, if one believes that the Atman will lose its identity ... then it becomes like Buddhist philosophy of "Shoonyavada".
