Islamic Ideology
Upanishads, a source of great wisdom
By Syamal K Chattopadhyay

The first shloka of the Ishopanishad tells us how to enjoy worldly things and how to live. The whole universe belongs to the omnipotent power and it permeates through all things. Whatever is enjoyable in the universe, enjoy by renouncement. Do not aspire for the other person’s wealth.
The Ishopanishad says not to avoid one’s worldly duties and obligations; ensure only that you are never attached to it. A person should always be conscious that this whole universe is pervaded by a Supreme Power. So whatever things of enjoyment come one’s way one should enjoy them without any greed or attachment. One cannot afford to say that this is mine and that is his.
