Ishavasyopanishad
Ishavasyopanishad (or Isha Upanishad) is one of the ten principal upanishads which present the essence and culmination of all knowledge found within India's most ancient and sacred texts; the vedas. It focuses on the oneness of all creation, the illusion of multiplicity, and the need to carry out one's duties in the world with detachment. It contains just 18 verses.
It is believed that listening to the upanishads is the first step towards discovering our unique spiritual path to liberation. In 2020, Sri Madhusudan Sai gave a series of talks over the course of a month, which methodically and thoroughly explained the significance of the Ishavasyopanishad and its relevance to us in our lives. This podcast series is compiled from those talks.

3. How to live in oneness with all
In this third episode, Sri Madhusudan Sai provides some background on where this ancient scripture came from.
The episode goes deeper into two major questions:
1. How can someone do their everyday duties while realising that everything is truly one reality (brahman)?
2. Why did the perfect, limitless brahman create our limited senses and minds? What was the purpose?
His insights clearly answer these profound questions that puzzle spiritual seekers. His explanations go beyond the intellectual level to reveal the ultimate truth.
