Introduction : 7.








We as a generation, may be said to be living now at almost the fag end of the material swing.

The world is getting exhausted and fatigued with its own material exertions and, with tears in eyes, despair writ large on her face, regretting her follies and panting to regain  her  lost kingdom of peace and quiet growth, yonder stands the lust-shot West, bleeding and agonising, looking up ton the East for solace and peace!!


The great Rishis of ancient days, as observers of the entire, had watched this periodical wsing in the attitude of societies and communities and had tried their best to come to a correct understanding of the problem in its right proportion.

Their immortal solution for this great problem seems to be theme of the Upanishad that we have-- the "Isavasyopanishad".


The Solution :

As and when we are dissecting finally the mantras of the Upanishads, discovering for ourselves their beauties of expression and wealth of knowledge, we shall certainly watch for and detect the final solutions that these great Masters have pointed out to us.

Theirs is a call, certainly to the 'Path of Knowledge,' but, they do not condemn the 'Path of Action.'

On the other hand, they too, emphasize its importance in the scheme of the greater 'Life of Renunciation.'


According to them, we may say that the 'Path of Action' is to be lived intelligently and with religious zeal so as to complete our biological, mental and intellectual developments, at the end of wich alone can we strive sincerely and hope to walk the 'Path of Knowledge'and successfully reach the higher peaks of Perfection an Truth.

To be continued ...
