Isavasya Upanishad : ( 26/12/2012. )

Slokam:-18 (The last). Agne  naya  supatha  raye  asman Visvani  deva  vayunani  vidvan, yuyo-dhyas-majjuhu-rana-meno bhuyistham  te  nama-uktim  vidhema. O  Agni! Lead us to 'wealth'by a good path, as thou knowest, O God, all the many ways. Remove the crooked attraction of sin from us. We offer thee best salutations.[the end]

Slokam:-17. Vayur-anilam-amrtam  athedam Bhasmantagm   sariram, om  krato  smara  krtagm  smara krato  smara  krtagm  smara. Let my Prana merge into the all-pervading air (and) now let this body be burnt( by fire) to ashes. Om, O  my mind! remember, remember what you did! Oh remember what you did!  

Slokam:-16. Pusanne-karse  yama  surya  praja-patrya, Vyuha  rasmin  samuha  tejah yatte  rupam  kalyana-tamam  tatte  pasyami  yo  sa-vasau  purusah  so  ham-asmi. O  Pusan  (Sun, Nourisher),  O  Sole  Seer,  O  Controller  of  All,  Surya,  Son  of Prajapati, disperse Thy  rays  and  gather  up  Thy  burning  light..... I behold  Thy  glorious  form....the Purusa  within  Thee, He am I.

The next three slokams-15 to 17 together constitute the sixth wave of thought in the scripture which is a call of the mortal man to the glory of the immortal Self in himself to reveal itself in the joy of Self-experience. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Slokam-15.( very important slokam, to be recited in the temple before the Deity) Hiranmayena   patrena   satya-syapi-hitam   mukham, ta ttvam   pusanna-pavrnu   satya-dharmaya   drstaye.     The face of Truth is covered by a golden lid; remove, O  Sun, that (covering) for me, the practitioner of Truth, so that I may  behold it.  

Slokam:-14. Sambhutim  ca  vinasam  ca  yastad  vedo-bhayagm  saha Vinasena  mrtyum  tirtva  sambhutya-mrtam-asnute. He who worships the Impersonal Godhead  and the personal God together, overcomes death through the worship of the Personal and obtains immortality through the worship of the Impersonal.  

SLOKAM:-13. Anyad-evahuh  sambhavat  anyad-ahur-asambhavat iti  susruma   dhiranam  ye mastad  vica-cakksire.   One thing they say, is verily obtained from the  worship of the manifest. Another thing, they say, from the worship of the unmanifest; thus have we heard from the wise who have explained that to us.   

SLOKAM:-12. Andham  tamah  pravisanti  ye  sambhuti-mupasate, tato  bhuya  iva  te  tamo  ya  u  sambhu-tyagm  ratah. They fall into blinding darkness who worship the Unmanifested (Prakriti); but those who devote themselves to the manifested (Hiranyagarbha) enter into greater darkness.    

SLOKAM-11. Vidyam  cavidyam  ca  yastad  vedo-bhayagm  saha avidyaya  mrtyum  tirtva  vidyaya-mrtam-asnute. He, who knows at the same time both Vidya and  Avidya, overcomes death by Avidya and obtains immortality by Vidya. 

SLOKAM:-10. Anyad-evahur-vidyaya  anya-dahur-avidyaya, iti  susruma  dhiranam  ye  nastad  vica-caksire. One thing,  they say ,  is verily  obtained from vidya,  another thing they say from Avidya;  thus,  we have heard from the wise who explained that to us.

FIFTH WAVE -SIX SLOKAS ( 9 TO 14):- SLOKAM-9. Andham  tamah  pravisanti  ye  vidyam-upasate, tato  bhuya  iva  te  tamo  ya  u  vidyayagam  ratah. They who worship Avidya ( rites) alone enter into blinding darkness, and they, who are engaged in vidya (meditation) verily fall, as though, into an even greater darkness.  

SLOKAM:-8 Sa  paryagac-chukram-akayam-avranam asna-viragam  suddham-apapa-viddham, kavir-manisi  paribhuh  svayam-bhuh  yatha-tathyatah arthan-vyadadhac-chasva-tibhyah  samabhyah. He, the Atma, is all pervading, bright, bodiless, scaleless, without muscles, pure, unpierced by evils, wise, omniscient, transcendent and self-existing. He alone allotted their respective functions ( duties ) to the various eternal years (Creators ).    

SLOKAM:-7. Yasmin  sarvani  bhutani  atmaiva-bhud  vijanatah, tatra  ko  mohah  kah  soka  ekatva-manu-pasyatah. When, to the knower, all beings have become one in his own Self ( Atma ), how shall he feel deluded thereafter? What grief can there be to him who sees oneness everywhere? 

SLOKAM:-6. Yastu  sarvani  bhutani  atmanye-vanupasyati, sarva-bhutesu  catmanam  tato  na  viju-gupsate. He who constantly sees everywhere all existence in the Self  and the Self in all beings and forms, thereafter feels no hatred for anything. 

SLOKAM:-5. Tadejati  tannaijati  tad  dure  tadvantike tadan-tarasya  sarvasya  tadu  sarva-syasya  bahyatah The Atma moves and it moves not; it is far and it is near; it is within all this, and it is also outside all this. "The vital factor is that the Supreme Consciousness is 'all-pervading". It is to introduce us the entire significance of the term  'all-Ferdinanda to facilitate us in experiencing the pregnant import of the term, that the teacher is repeatedly giving different phrases to convey the same idea."     

SLOKAM(Stanzas):- 4,5,6,7,8 (total -5) In this wave seer indicate vividly to his student " what exactly is the goal of life"  which was already  indicated in the 1st stanza, and how one who has gained that goal will thereafter live in his inner world of subjective Truth experience. SLOKAM-4. Aneja-dekam  manaso  javiyo nainad-deva  apnuvan-purva-marsat, tad-dhavato=nyana-tyeti  tisthat tasmin-napo  matarisva  dadhati. The self is the motionless one, swifter than the mind. The devas(senses) could not overtake; It ran before them. Sitting, it goes faster than those who run after it. By it, Matarisva  (the element Air) supports  the activity of all living beings.           

In the third stanza ( stanza-3.), which forms the third wave, it is even hinted that, to refuse to walk either of these two paths, is to go astray into an abyss of pain and darkness! Asurya  nama  te  lokah  andhena  tamasa  vrtah Tagmste  pretyabhi-gacchanti  ye  ke  catma-hano  janah. SUNLESS  ARE  THOSE  WORLDS,  AND  ENVELOPED  IN  BLINDING  GLOOM  TO WHICH  ALL  THOSE  PEOPLE,  WHO ARE SLAYERS  OF THEIR  OWN  SOULS  GO,  DEPARTING FROM HERE.
