Īśā vāsyam Upaniṣad
Covered with the Self Upaniṣad

योऽसावसौ पुरुषः सोऽहमस्मि।
yo'sāvasau puruṣaḥ so'hamasmi
That which IS, That Self, I am That.

ईशा वास्यमिदं सर्वं यत्किञ्च जगत्यां जगत्।
īśā vāsyamidaṃ sarvaṃ yatkiñca jagatyāṃ jagat
All this, whatever moves upon the earth, should be covered with that Self.

तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम्।
tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā mā gṛidhaḥ kasyasviddhanam
Protect yourself through such detachment. Do not crave wealth, for whose is it after all?

कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छतं समाः।
kurvanneveha karmāṇi jijīviṣecchataṃ samāḥ
Even if you wish to live here for a hundred years, dedicate all your actions to that Self.

एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे।
evaṃ tvayi nānyatheto'sti na karma lipyate nare
For human beings there is no other way, not to get ensnared by action.

असूर्या नाम ते लोका अन्धेन तमसाऽऽवृताः ताम्स्ते प्रेत्याभिगच्छन्ति ये के चात्महनो जनाः।
asuryā nāma te lokā andhena tamasā''vṛitāḥ tāṃste pretyābhigacchanti ye ke cātmahano janāḥ
But people who ignore that Self enter those devilish worlds which are covered by blinding delusion.


अनेजदेकं मनसो जवीयो नैनद्देवा आप्नुवन्पूर्वमर्षत्।
anejadekaṃ manaso javīyo nainaddevā āpnuvanpūrvamarṣat
The Self is one. Unmoving, It runs ahead faster than the mind; the senses can never reach It.

तद्धावतोऽन्यानत्येति तिष्टत्तस्मिन्नपो मातरिश्वा दधाति।
taddhāvato'nyānatyeti tiṣṭhattasminnapo mātariśvā dadhāti
Immovable, It outruns all other runners. Because of consciousness, the vital force, air, can support all of life’s activities.

तदेजति तन्नैजति तद्दूरे तद्वन्तिके।
tadejati tannaijati taddūre tadvantike
Unmoving, it moves; is far away, yet near.

तदन्तरस्य सर्वस्य तदु सर्वस्यास्य बाह्यतः।
tadantarasya sarvasya tadu sarvasyāsya bāhyataḥ
It is inside everything, yet outside of all this.

यस्तु सर्वाणि भूतान्यात्मन्येवानुपश्यति
yastu sarvāṇi bhūtānyātmanyevānupaśyati
Whoever sees all beings in himself

सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं ततो न विजुगुप्सते।
sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṃ tato na vijugupsate
and that Self in all beings, has no wish to despise anything.

यस्मिंसर्वाणि भूतान्यात्मैवाभूद्विजानतः
yasminsarvāṇi bhūtānyātmaivābhūdvijānataḥ।
On seeing unity, when the Self alone has become all beings, where then is delusion?


तत्र को मोहः कः शोक एकत्वमनुपश्यतः।
tatra ko mohaḥ kaḥ śoka ekatvamanupaśyataḥ
Where is delusion or sorrow for one who is wise?

स पर्यगाच्छुक्रमकायमव्रणम् अस्नाविरं शुद्धमपापविद्धम्
sa paryagācchukramakāyamavraṇamasnāviraṃ śuddhamapāpaviddham
The Self is all-pervasive, radiant, without a body, without wounds, without sinews, pure, untainted by sin,

कविर्मनीषी परिभूः स्वयम्भूर्याथातथ्यतोऽर्थान् व्यदधाच्छाश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्य।
kavirmanīṣī paribhūḥ svayambhūryāthātathyato'rthān vyadadhācchāśvatībhyaḥ samābhya
all-seeing, the ruler of the mind, existing everywhere, independent, with a true purpose assigned to every moment in eternity.

पुषन्नेकर्षे यम सूर्य प्राजापत्यव्हूह रश्मीन् समूह तेजः।
pūṣannekarṣe yama sūrya prājāpatyavyūha raśmīn samūha tejaḥ
O Sun, O nourisher, solitary traveller, controller, acquirer, son of the Creator, remove your rays, withdraw your dazzling light.
