Om Sai Ram
Summary of Isha Upanishad
=> One of the smallest upanishads having only 18 verses
=> Is one of the Ten Mukhya Upanishads or Chief Upanishad on which Shankaracharaya has written a commentary
=> It derives its name from the starting verse "Isha Vasyam" Meaning pervaded by the Lord. Isha means Lord.
=> Teaches that all being pervaded by God one must enjoy what God gives us without greed for what God has given others
=> Encourages work without desire for purification leading to liberation.
=> The Atma is explained as both transcendent and immanent and the Jnani who knows this One Atma in All becomes free from this world of duality
=> Atma Sakshatkara or the Final realization leading to Moksha is stressed upon and Worship of the Gods (Upasana) for attaining heaven or desire bred action (Karma) is considered as inferior to knowledge of the self.
