ISAVASYA UPANISHAD : - Mantram - 5.







ISAVASYA UPANISHAD :

VAJASANEYI    SAMHITA    UPANISHAD


Mantram : 5.


Discussion - 4. "It is  within  all  this   and  it  is  without  all  this"  .........




This  idea  is  again  more  clearly  brought  out  the  expression :  "It  is  within  ( inside )  all  this  and  It  is  without  (  outside  )  all  this."

Not  only  is  the  'Atma'  the  central  core  of  the  'Spirituo-physical  personality  in  the  seeker,  but  the  same  Consciousness  is  the  very  substratum  for  the  entire  perception  of  the  Universe.

To  consider  this  Self  to  be only   within  and  thus  to  live  a  life  of  pure  introversion  is  a  negation  of  Truth,  and  it  is  condemned  from  the  Hindu  (  Bharatham ) scriptural  standpoint.

Thus,  those  who  know  the  scriptures  will  not  dare  accuse  Hinduism  of  being  a  religion  of  inward  gazing  only.
