Ethical Values in Ishopanisad-
CONCLUSION
It will be seen that there are many gems of ethical values in Ishopanisad, which are still relevant
in modern times. It begins with the statement 'whatever exists in this world is enveloped by
the Supreme and by renunciation and absence of possessiveness , we should enjoy the bounties
Provided y Him,without coveting what does not belong to us. Balanced view of
wealth,signifying non-accumulation and sharing of God-given resources is a significant concept
in the prevailing social orderwith wide-spread inequalities existing in the society and the
world at large.
The Upanisad is also of immense significance, as it contains a concentrated view of the essential Vedic philosophy and the choicest Ethical Values and forms the foundation of Vedantic System of thought. It highlights the divinity of man, as well as all His manifestations in nature. Oneness of the Soul and God, and the value of both faith and works(Action) as means of ultimate attainment are the leading themes of this Upanishad, emphasising that works alone, even the highest, can bring only temporary happiness and must inevitably bind a man unless through them he gains knowledge of his real Self. To help him acquire this knowledge is the aim of this Upanishad. It shows the way the Upanishad describes the non-material aspects of the Supreme Being, as ‘One who walks but does not walk’. It is a way of relating how the Lord has no material qualities, but has all spiritual qualities and characteristics. May i conclude with the hope that all of us shall endeavour to cultivate the significant ethical values stated in Isha Upanisad, to lead a more contented and spiritual life, leading to intimate and intense awareness of Self. With my Best wishes for the Spiritual journey.
