The Isha Upanishad is one of the shortest texts in the Indian philosophical tradition, and also one of the most unsettling as it refuses clean oppositions. It places knowledge and ignorance together, action and renunciation together, being and becoming together. In just a few verses, it asks how one should live in a world of action, possession, fear, and death, without retreating from the world or being consumed by it. This reading circle will approach the text through close reading, guided primarily by Sri Aurobindo’s essay The Principles of the Upanishads.
