Today we will discuss sixteenth shloka of Isha Upanishad.   You can recite the shloka with me.  पूषन्नेकर्षे यम सूर्य प्राजापत्य व्यूह रश्मीन् ‌ समूह ।   तेजो यत् ते रूपं कल्याणतमं तत्ते पश्यामि   योऽसावसौ पुरुषः सोऽहमस्मि ॥   “pūṣannekarṣe yama sūrya prājāpatya vyūha raśmīn samūha |  tejo yat te rūpaṁ kalyāṇatamaṁ tatte paśyāmi  yo'sāvasau puruṣaḥ so'hamasmi ||”  Translation in English:  O Sun, solitary traveler, controller of all, Surya, son of Prajapati do remove thy rays and gather up thy dazzle. By your grace I shall see your form which is supremely benign. I am that person within thee.   I think every child is curious about the Sun, so I was, when I was a child. Why does it rise from one direction and set in the opposite direction? Always wanted to see the soothing Sun in the morning and in the evening.

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.

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 had a void in his heart though he was practicing meditation of the formless supreme reality. That void was fil
