Introduction: 12.







ISAVASYA UPANISHAD :


Immediately following these ommortal Mantra-s explaining the Infinite qualities ofb the Subject, the Rishi, in the following six Mantra-s ( 9 to 14 ), is exhausting the fifth wave.

There he indicates to the students, that Knowledge and Action that is : ( Meditation and Worship ) are to ve taken together, hand in hand, if they are to be coaxed to yield ther maximum dividend.

Neither of them is to be faithfully followed one after the other as a harmonious and integrated programme.

Then alone can one of them be reinforced by the other, and in its turn, vitalise the other.

Thus, mutually strengthening each other, ultimately the pair takes the individual seeker to the state of Self-recognition, or Self-awareness.



The next three Mantra-s ( 15 to 17) together constitute the sixth wave of thought in the scripture which is a call of the normal man to the glory of the Immortal Self in himself to revealItself in the joy of Self-experience.



The last Mantram (18) in itself represents the seventh wave of thought.

After explaining the highest goal, both the teacher and the taught together pray to the Supreme for guidance and help on the path of Self-development.
