# 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 eleventh shloka of Isha Upanishad.   You can recite the shloka. So, let's start.  विद्यां चाविद्यां च यस्तद्वेदोभयं सह ।   अविद्यया मृत्युं तीर्त्वा विद्ययामृतमश्नुते ॥   “vidyāṃ cāvidyāṃ ca yastadvedobhayaṃ saha |  avidyayā mṛtyuṃ tīrtvā vidyayāmṛtamaśnute || |”  Translation in English:  He who knows Vidya and Avidya both, crosses over death by Avidya and attains immortality through Vidya.    One day divine sage Narada was crossing a deep forest. The forest was known for a cruel dacoit Ratnakar. Everyone told sage Narada to change the route to save his life because Ratnakar does not show any emotion while looting and killing anyone. Sage Narada smiled and chanted “Narayana, Narayana.”. He entered the forest; chanting and walking. After walking for 2 hours, he noticed bones and dead bodies of some passers. He understood he had already entered the area of the ferocious Ratnakar dacoit. Without being late the deat

  Dear readers,  Welcome back to our  blog . Today we will discuss tenth shloka of Isha Upanishad.   Without any further delay, let's jump to the Sloka.  अन्यदेवाहुर्विद्ययाऽन्यदाहुरविद्यया ।   इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस्तद्विचचक्षिरे ॥   “anyadevāhurvidyayā’nyadāhuravidyayā |  iti śuśruma dhīrāṇāṃ ye nastadvicacakṣire ||”  Translation in English:  The result of Vidya is different from the result received by following Avidya. We heard that from wise people who taught us so.   Which results the Shloka is indicating? To understand that let me tell you a story of two brothers Vidyasagar and Sushanta. Vidyasagar was naughty, undisciplined, questioning, curious and an experimenter. Sometimes teachers used to be afraid of his questions because they did not have any answers to them. On the other hand, Sushanta was very calm, disciplined, never questioning and used to follow everything blindly. After growing up Sushanta started working as a clerk in a government office.
