Lead us on to'wealth' by a good path
अग्ने नय सुपथा राये अस्मान विश्वानी देव वयुनानि विद्वान्।
युयोध्यस्म ज्जुहुराणमेनो भूयिष्ठां ते नम उक्तिं विधेम ॥१८॥
Agne naya supatha raye asman
Visvani deva vayunani vidvan,
yuyo-dhyas-majjuhu-rana-meno
bhuyistham te nama uktim vidhema (18)
"O Agni!Lead us on to'wealth' by a good path, as Thou knowest, O God, all the many ways. Remove the crooked attraction of sin from us. We offerThee our best salutations.(SwamiChinmayananda)
O Adorable God(Agni),may Thee lead us along the wholesome path for our prosperity, since O Lord, Thou art in the knowledge of all our actions. May Thee cleanse us of the sin that forces us astray. With humility, we offer thee our most reverential homage.
This is the last Mantra of Isha Upanisad.According to Aryan heritage man has to seek the support of God even after doing his best efforts., which has been sought here. The Upanisad, which started from the first wave 'tyagten bhunjitha ma gridah kasya -savidhnam' concludes with this last wave with a beautiful prayer 'to lead us to the right path to prosperity,abjuring treading wrong path of sin'. God's (Ishwara's) guidance is sought in following the right path and remaining away from sin here.The devotee(sadhak) having done his best efforts takes refuge in Him for raye i.e.wealth, prosperity, including 'the riches of a spiritual seeker.', for attainment of the supreme felicity. It is, thus, an active dynamic spiritual giving up to Him and a becoming into the new awareness.
