VOLUME 18 THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SRI AUROBINDO
© Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust 2001
Published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram Publication Department Printed at Sri Aurobindo Ashram Press, Pondicherry PRINTED IN INDIA
Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry, c. 1915–1918
The Subject of
the Upanishads
THE TWELVE great
Upanishads are written round one body of ancient knowledge; but
they approach it from differentsides. Into the great kingdom of
the Brahmavidya each enters by its own gates,
follows its own path or detour, aims at its own point of arrival.
The Isha Upanishad and the Kena are both concerned with the
same grand problem, the winning of the state of
Immortality, the relations of the divine, all-ruling, all-possessing
Brahman to the world and to the human consciousness, the means of
passing out of our present state of divided self, ignorance and
suffering into the unity, the truth, the divine beatitude. As the Isha
closes with the aspiration towards the supreme felicity, so the Kena
closes with the definition of Brahman as the Delight and the
injunction to worship and seek after That as the Delight.
Nevertheless there is a variation in the starting-point, even in
the standpoint, a certain sensible divergence in the attitude.
