What\nwe consume is not just the food we eat. It includes what we consume\nthrough our eyes, ears and what we think about. There is such a food\nitem, which when consumed, makes us fall in love with ourselves.\nThat is the introduction of a human being to a human being by the\nUpanishads. This article shares some of the sacred truths shared in\nthe Isavasya Upanishad.<\/p>\n\n\n
What\nwe constantly worry about, such as house, car, finances, stuff at\nwork etc are the pickle (side dish) of life. We mistake that for the\nmain course and miss the main course of life which is living\nenlightenment. The society is designed in a way to keep us busy with\nthe pickle so that we never look at the main course. We anyway pay\nthe price for the entire buffet. Why not enjoy the entire meal of\nlife?<\/p>\n\n\n
The\nintroduction given to human beings about themselves by Isavasya\nUpanishad is that who we are in Pure Consciousness and;<\/p>\n\n\n
\nPure\nConsciousness is all-pervasive, beyond the coming and going, absolute\nradiant and self-effulgent, unembodied, Boundaryless, Whole (beyond\nthe subtle body), woundless, muscleless, having no incompletion with\nthe body. Consciousness is the ever pure space devoid of the dirt of\nignorance, and is untouched by the delusion of incompletion;\nConsciousness is the all-knowing seer of all\u2013past, present and\nfuture, the lord of all minds (man\u012b\u1e63\u012b),\nConsciousness transcends all beings (paribhu\u1e25).\nConsciousness is self-existent by Itself with Its independent will\nand intelligence, having no cause for Its happening. It is Pure\nConsciousness, that from time eternal, has enriched the ages and each\nbeing, by ordaining desirable responsibilities, artha onto them, as\nper their nature and space, and their actions and results thereof.<\/p>\n\n\n
This\nis the main course. Each phrase has to be savoured and made into\nliving energy in our system. Let us take one of the statements and\nlook at it a little closer.<\/p>\n\n\n
A\nstatement that is made in the verse above is that we are untouched by\nthe delusion of incompletion. Incompletion is simply any idea we\ncarry about ourselves, others and the world which is not aligned to\nthe introduction given above. These ideas are like the blanket that\nwe pull on ourselves in the early morning to feel cosy and\ncomfortable and get a few more hours of sleep. The wrong ideas that\nwe carry only puts us in suffering and it has nothing to do with who\nwe are in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n
Contemplating\nabout these truths is the way to consume this food. Taking the time\nout to think through them is necessary in our day to day life. We\nare so caught up with trivial things that we have even forgotten how\nto contemplate. Getting a group of people to think through these\ntruths along with us is the sure way to consume this food. Vedic\ntradition calls this \u2018Vakyartha Sadas\u2019 \u2013 a forum to explore the\nsacred secrets of life. Create one in your locality or online using\nSkype or Hangouts to ensure an unlimited supply of this for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n
\nThe\nmore and more we consume this food, the more we will feel settled\nwith ourselves. We will be established more in a space that is at a\nhigher plane than that is permeated by time and space. This will\nmake us fall in love with who we really are.<\/p>\n\n\n
