UPANISHAD VAHINI11Isavaasyamidam sarvam yathkinchajagathyaam jagathThena thyakthena bhunjethaah, maa gridhah kasyaswiddhanam.“All things of this world are transitory, theevanescent, are enveloped by the Lord who is the realReality of each. Therefore, they have to be used withreverent renunciation, without covetousness or greed forthey belong to the Lord and not to any one person.” Thisis what this sloka means.That is to say, the Universe is the Immanence ofthe Lord, His Form, His Body. It is wrong to take theUniverse and Its Lord as different. It is a delusion, aproduct of the imagination of man. Just as your imageunder the water is not different from you, the Universe(which is His Image produced on your Ignorance) is thesame as He.So long as man has this delusion, he cannotvisualise the Reality immanent in him. On the other hand,he will slide into wrong thoughts, words and deeds. Apiece of sandalwood if kept in water will produce a badsmell; but, if it is taken out and rubbed into paste, theformer perfume will return. When the authority of theVedas and Sastras is respected and when discriminationis sharpened on the practice of Dharma Karmas, the evilsmell of wrong and wickedness will vanish and the pureinnate perfume of the Atma will emerge. Then, the duality
12 UPANISHAD VAHINIof doer and enjoyer will disappear. Then, you reach thestage called Sarvakarmasanyas, the withdrawal from allactivity. In this Upanishad, this type of Sanyasa isdescribed as the pathway to Liberation or Moksha.The Sanyasa which involves the destruction of thethree urges (for a mate, for progeny and for wealth) isvery difficult to attain without purity of the chiththa ormind.In this Upanishad, the means for getting this isdeclared in the second manthra. That is to say, carry outthe Agni-hothra, etc. prescribed in the Sastras, believethat for liberation one has to be actively engaged in suchwork and get convinced that no sin can cling so long asone is so engaged. Work without the desire for the fruitthereof slowly cleanses impurities like the crucible ofthe goldsmith. The pure mind is Jnana. It is theconsummation of detachment.If you are able to divest yourselves of desire whenyou are doing work, no impurity can touch you. You knowthe “Chilliginji” seeds when dropped into muddy waterhave the power of separating the dirt and depositing it atthe bottom. The seeds too sink to the bottom and slip outof sight! In the same way, those who are adepts in doingKarma without attachment will have their minds perfectlycleansed and the results of their acts will loseeffectiveness and sink to the bottom.
