UNVEIL THE TRUTH
हिरण्यमयेंन पात्रेण सत्यस्यापिहितं मुखं।
तत्वं पूषन्नपावृणु सत्यधर्माय द्रृष्टये ॥१५॥
UNRAVEL THE TRUTH
Hiranmayena pâtrena satya-syâpi-hitaM mukham,
tat tvaM pûSanna-pâvRinu satya-dharmâya drstaye. 15.
"The face of the Truth is covered by a golden lid, remove. O Sun that (covering) for me,the practioner of Truth, so that I may behold It."(SwamiChinmayananda)
"O Sun God! (representing the God in general) The luminous and attractive face of truth is hidden by a golden disc. Unveil it for my vision (the one who is in search of truth)."(Sri Aurobindo)

The world -of -objects and their glittering fascinations seems to envelop theTruth,which the Practioner of Truth is ultimately seeking.In this prayer raised to the effulgent form of the Lord seeking His Grace and Blessing to remove the golden veil that hides true vision of Truth. Isha Upanisad that started with 'clothed by by the Isa in all this', must end in this prayer unto the Nourisher, Sustainer: O Lord!unveil the Reality to me, as if pleading, 'May i pierce through the golden lid covering the Truth,and experience the Supreme Immutable Reality.'
According to Swami Chinmayananda, "Prayer in Vedanta is only an attempt of the ego-centre to attune itself tothe Supreme Consciousness in the individual.. The word 'pusan' in this verse represents the Seeker's inner world- the Nourisher and Illuminator, the Atman. The ego-centre is to die when it relises its real nature, the Self. It is the last prayer of theactivespiritual seeker in his meditation-seat when he, in his divine effort, is shaking off his last vesture ofego which is lingering to veil the Self in him."
The devotee(sadhak) declares that the Truth should reveal Itself unto him for he is himself a practioner of Truth.' This is very significant as the seeker's goal isTruth, his path isTruth, which is laid over with Truth at every step. And, as a dedicaed devotee, he has a right to demand that 'Unveiling of Truth' for him.
