ಈಶಾವಾಸ್ಯೋಪನಿಷದ್ (ಈಶೋಪನಿಷದ್)

That (Brahman) is infinite, and this (manifested universe) is infinite. The infinite proceeds from the infinite. When the infinite is taken from the infinite, only the infinite remains. Om, Peace, Peace, Peace. Whatever exists in this changing world is pervaded by the Lord. Enjoy through detachment; do not covet the wealth of anyone, for whose is it?

By performing works here, one may desire to live a hundred years. Thus, and in no other way, can you live without being bound by your actions.

Those worlds are devoid of the sun and are shrouded in blinding darkness. Those who destroy the Self go to those worlds after death.

That One, though motionless, is swifter than the mind. The senses cannot reach It, as It is always ahead. Though standing still, It surpasses those who run. In It, the cosmic energy (Matarishva) supports all activities.

It moves and It moves not; It is far and It is near; It is within all this and It is also outside all this.

He who perceives all beings in the Self alone, and the Self in all beings, does not feel aversion toward any being.

For the one who has realized that all beings are the Self, what delusion or what sorrow can there be, having seen this perfect unity?

He (the Self) is all-pervading, radiant, incorporeal, invulnerable, devoid of veins, pure, and untouched by evil. He is the Seer, the Thinker, the One who encompasses all, and the Self-existent. He has duly allotted the duties to the eternal creators from time immemorial.

Those who worship ignorance enter into blinding darkness; but those who are engaged in knowledge alone enter into even greater darkness.

It is said that a different result is obtained from knowledge and a different result from ignorance. Thus have we heard from the wise who have explained it to us.

He who knows both knowledge and ignorance together, crosses death through ignorance and attains immortality through knowledge.

Those who worship the unmanifest (Prakriti) enter into blinding darkness, and those who are absorbed in the manifest (the created universe) enter into even greater darkness.

It is said that the fruit of the manifest is one thing, and the fruit of the unmanifest is another; thus we have heard from the wise who have explained it to us.

He who knows both the manifest and the unmanifest (dissolution) together, crosses death through the unmanifest and attains immortality through the manifest.

The face of Truth is covered by a golden vessel. O Sun, do Thou remove it, so that I, who am devoted to Truth, may behold it.

O Sun, the nourisher, the sole traveler, the controller, the source of life, pull in Thy rays and withdraw Thy brilliance, so that I may behold Thy most auspicious form. That Being who dwells within Thee, I am He.

Let my life-breath depart into the immortal Prana, and let this body be consumed by fire and reduced to ashes. O Om, O Creator, remember my deeds; O Creator, remember my deeds, remember!

O Fire, lead us by a virtuous path to prosperity, O God who knowest all our deeds. Remove from us all crooked sins, and we shall offer Thee our most abundant prayers and salutations. Om, the Supreme is Infinite, and this world is Infinite; from the Infinite, the Infinite proceeds. Upon taking the Infinite from the Infinite, the Infinite alone remains. Om, Peace, Peace, Peace.
