Talks on "Isavasya Upanishad "

Some of the ‘pearls’ that have been collected from the Upanishad Lectures delivered by Swami Sivayogananda, from August 10 to August 14, 2010, at Chinmaya Mission, Madurai.

Pearls of wisdom:

·‘Shanthi’ sloka of Ishavasya Upanishad, in a nutshell, contains entire vedantic Philosophy. It is a daring declaration of Vedas without any veil. So complete.So perfect.

· There is no flaw in ‘Jagath’. We have distorted vision to see otherwise.

· This erroneous vision can be removed only through ‘Shasthras.’

· When only a mango tree can emerge from a mango seed, what emerged from ‘Brahman’ should be only ‘Brahaman’

· So recognize ‘this’ part, as a part of ultimate‘That’

.

· This cannot be seen. Should be experienced by one, where a ‘Guru’ becomes vital.

· By illuminating all faculty, the Guru stands as a witness to that indestructible Conscious & shows the way to Meditate.

· Hence be single pointed to listen to Guru.

· Keep meditating at all times, when it will pervade the entire mind.

· Control the mind, the world will set right.

· Thus cloth the entire knowledge of worldly objects & acts

With ‘Ishwara Smaran’

· Then you can lift yourself, when protected from ignorance.

· Do not get caught up in trivial waves of sensuous pleasures.

· Protect your ‘seeking’ by renouncing, the possession of wealth,relations, etc.

· Wish to live for 100 years, perform all responsibilities with the mind set in tune with the Lord

· All karmas should have growth, development and get culminated into Realization.
