# Watch  https://youtu.be/S57nG_aGOlw   Dear  readers ,  Welcome back to our blog. Today we will discuss fifteenth shloka of Isha Upanishad.   You can recite the shloka with me.    हिरण्मयेन पात्रेण सत्यस्यापिहितं मुखम् ‌।   तत् त्वं पूषन्नपावृणु सत्यधर्माय दृष्टये ॥   “hiraṇmayena pātreṇa satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham |  tat tvaṁ pūṣannapāvṛṇu satyadharmāya dṛṣṭaye ||”  Translation in English:  The face of Truth is covered by a golden lid. Do thou, O Sun remove it, so as to be seen by me what is my true nature.   Prince Siddharth was always surrounded by servants, a beautiful wife, a lovely son in his palace with all sorts of comfort. He was shielded from any kind of sufferings, sorrow, pain, death etc. He was always kept away from old men, Ascetics and spiritual knowledge. He never stepped out of the palace. When he stepped out for the first time in his life, he encountered truth of life in the form of an old man, a diseased man, a dead body and he left everything to find out the rea

  Dear  readers ,  Welcome back to our blog. Today we will discuss fourteenth shloka of Isha Upanishad.   Let's recite the shloka.  सम्भूतिञ्च विनाशञ्च यस्तद्वेदोभयं सह ।   विनाशेन मृत्युं तीर्त्वा सम्भूत्याऽमृतमश्नुते ॥   In English “sambhūtiñca vināśañca yastadvedobhayaṁ saha |  vināśena mṛtyuṁ tīrtvā sambhūtyā'mṛtamaśnute ||”  Translation in English:   The person who knows the unmanifested and destruction both attains immortality through unmanifested by crossing death through destruction.  Let me try to explain the Shloka using the life of Swami Vivekananda. Those days Swamiji was known by his given name Narendranath, a young boy curious to know the truth of this universe.  Narendranath joined a well spreaded movement named Brahma Samaj. He learnt the worship of Brahman (the formless absolute) from this society before receiving Shri Ramakrishna as his Guru. He had a void in his heart though he was practicing meditation of the formless supreme reality. That void was fil

  Dear readers,  Welcome back to our blog. Today we will discuss eleventh shloka of Isha Upanishad.   You can recite the shloka. So, let's start. अन्यदेवाहुः सम्भवादन्यदाहुरसम्भवात् ।   इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस्तद्विचचक्षिरे ॥   In English:   “ anyad evahūḥ sambhavād anyad āhur asambhavāt|   iti śuśruma dhīrāṇām ye nas tad v icacakṣire ||” Translation in English:   The result of worshipping manifested is different from the result received by worshipping unmanifested. We heard that from wise people who taught us so.     Let me try to explain the Shloka using a small incident that happened a few days ago. A fake monk named Abodh Lila Das (Changed the name to hide his identity) worships Lord Krishna’s idol. He used to joke about others who worship in different ways than his style of worship. Even he used to mock other renowned Gurus. One day he crossed all limits and mocked Shri Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda, the revolutionaries, reformers, ideals of thou
