Īśā Upaniṣad
Translation, Commentary & Philosophical Notes
A close reading of the eighteen mantras of the Īśā Upaniṣad — the briefest of the principal Upaniṣads and among the most philosophically dense. The commentary traces the Upaniṣad's central movements: the unity of Īśa and world, the integration of action and renunciation, and the dissolution of the knower into knowing.
