Isha Upanishad – Verse Seven – Discourse Two – Part Two

Acharya Aashish is an Enlightened Master, a spiritual leader, whose purpose is to teach meditation and spread the message of religiousness not by practicing religion but by discovering the self. In this discourse he talks about the seventh verse of the Isha Upanishad, he talks about love and hate.

The question who you are has a famous answer: ‘We are that which asks the question’.

We are that which asks the question —this is beautifully expressed in the Vedanta, it means that we are the drik, the seer, and not the drishyam, the seen; the subject, not the object; the Self, not the non-self. To understand this meditation is required, then the separation between the doer and the watcher is seen, then the watcher becomes separate that is the merger point, the realization of the self.

This self-realization gives bliss and then happiness is not dependent on something, then bliss is extracted from the One. For this to happen, meditation, the search of the self within has to be done, you have to experience that you are not the body, not the mind, not the intelligence, but that you are the Atman, the eternally pure, eternally awakened and eternally free Self.
