FIRST WAVE:-

-

In the first wave  Slokam-1, an entire chapter of ideas has been summarised by the great teachers to expose the Theory of Truth and how it can be gained via the 'Path of Renunciation' and  how the realised Truth can be maintained and consistently enjoyed through values of life founded upon a complete detachment from all the material glory, the passing success, and the flimsy popularity! 


SLOKAM [STANZA]-1.

Om  isavasyam-idagmsarvam  yat-kinca jagatyam jagat

tena tyaktena bhunjitha ma grdhah kasya svid dhanam


All this, whatever  moves  in  this  universe,  including  the  universe,  itself  moving,  is  indwelt  or  pervaded  or  enveloped  or clothed  by  the Lord.

That  renounced, thou should st  enjoy.

Covet  not  any body's  Wealth.


This slokam  is intended for those of our generation who believe in the 'Path of Renunciation' or 'Knowledge'.  

The entire world world of perceptions, feelings, and ideas exists only in the in the Supreme Reality, just as all kinds of waves, bubbles, froth, and whirls exists only in the Ocean. We cannot have a wave but in the ocean; in fact, the wave is nothing other than the ocean; waves are but expressions of the strength, might and power of the ocean.  Similarly, whatever ( yat-kinca) names and forms are there in the universe, all of them are but expression s of the glory of the Eternal Truth; in themselves they are nothing other than the Spirit.

Jagat suggests the 'state of change'-the whirl of change to change. Not only the things and beings that constitute the world is ever in a state of flux, but the very world that supports  them all is also in a perpetual state of constant change : the perishables, perishing in a world which is itself ever-perishing !And such a dizzy phantom of constant change and therefore, decaying phenomenal world, should  not be allowed to veil from our experience the Eternal,Changeless, Omnipresent Lord who is the Immutable, Substratum for all change 

Change is relative. Without reference to something fixed, changeless, imperishable, we cannot ever recognise movement, change or perishable. That eternal factor is Reality, the Truth.

 =======================================================================  ======================================================================== 28/08/2019 Isavasya Upanishad for Beginners : 1.2 Mantram-1 Post - 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another view is, that Isvara pervades the world like salt in water. The salt is not visible as salt in salt-water; yet they both are different and separate factors. However, if Isvara is but in the world, then He is limited by time and space. But, His nature is unbroken Existence-Consciousness-Bliss­-Absolute, whereas the world is impermanent, transient and perishable. Isvara is creation, Isvara is the cause of creation—these are the two different viewpoints which different Upanishads explain. He is like salt in water, is the view of Visishtavaita philosophy. Isvara is not separate from the universe—this is Advaita philosophy.  When
