Episode description
This lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on July 5, 2020. It was hosted by the Stanford Hindu Students Association.
-Isha Upanishad is the most realistic Upanishad. It is closed to the Bhagavad Gita in teaching how to practice spirituality while living in this world.
-Live in the world while remembering its transience. Then we will be able to practice ethics and spiritual common sense - we can satisfy our needs but there is something that goes beyond.
-The Upanishad teaches universal spiritual humanism - that the whole creation is one spiritual family.
-No spiritual effort is wasted. It is stored as a positive tendency in our "spiritual bank account."
-God in the Upanishads is not necessarily a creator God. It can be realized as the divine reality, immanent everywhere.
