Vedas 23 - Ishavasyopanishad - Hymn 1

Rating: 5.0


All living and non-living beings,
All moving and non-moving creations,
All entities of this vast world,
All objects of this vast world,
Are under Lord's jurisdiction,
Are under Lord's supervision.

Aspire not what belongs to the other one,
Aspire not the wealth of anyone,
Use only what is meant for you,
Use only what is entitled for you!

Use only what is meant for you, Use only what is entitled for you! Humans are yet to learn this lesson of coexistence. A great message.

'Aspire not what belongs to the other one' and also by renouncing all cravings and desires which by doing our duties with detachment will bring us real joy. The series spurs the reader to nurture his or her interest in the subject. Thank you so much, Geeta ji.

Hi The verbatim translation of the mantra can be as All this is for habitation by the Lord, whatsoever is in- dividual universe of movement in the universal motion. By that renounced thou shouldst enjoy; not after any man’s possession. Your words give an interpretation for the layman, rather than a word for word translation. Well written.100++++
