AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

All this is for habitation by the Lord, whatsoever is individual universe of movement is the universal motion. By that renounced thou shouldst enjoy; lust not after any man’s possesion. Please explain this from Isha Upanishad..🧾

There is a wonderful commentary on this by Sri Aurobindo in the Isha Upanishad writings as well as Isavasyaupanishad. There is also a whole talk on the Isha Upanishad.

It is a must read Upanishad if one wants to know the foundation of Indian spiritual culture.

In brief it means that the will to appropriate things for oneself springs from the desire self (and leads inevitably to the duality of pleasure and pain). But what we should know is that everything belongs to the Lord. Today it is with us, given to us. Tomorrow it will be taken away and with someone else. When we become aware of this truth then we renounce attachment (tyaga and not sannyas) even while being in the world. We are like the Lord’s trustees who must care well about everything because it is the Lord but inwardly be free of all sense of possession and ownership. When we thus lead our life we share in the delight of the Divine and thereby do not covet anything anymore.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Presence is something that is felt, not as a feeling but as a perception. One senses that the Divine is there in the heart. When the feeling is clear then there is a state of faith and inner peace, a confidence in the Grace, of being …
