The Isha Upanishad: The Self
I. The Isha Upanishad: The Self
The Lord is in the hearts of all
The Lord is the Supreme Reality
All of everything belongs to the Lord
Only alone do you work in real freedom
Deny the Self, and one will be reborn again into another life
The Self is one
The Self is life
The Self seems to move, yet is ever still
The Self seems far away, yet is ever near
The Self is within all, transcends all, and is everywhere
The Self is both transcendent and immanent
How can the multiplicity of life delude the one who sees its unity?
Bright is the Self, indivisible, untouched by sin
It is the glue that holds the cosmos together.
