There is a wonderful line in Isavasya, the literal reading of which is 'gold covers the face of Truth'. Even the literal reading is so meaningful in our present day world. Money blinds our vision. 'Hiranmayena patrena satyasyabhihitam mukham'. But when we think deeply on the phenomenon, it comes to mean what we have been saying. Seeing from our own atomic angle we lose sight of the divine angle. Seeing from the divine angle is seeing 360 degrees. But our own atomic view becomes so precious like gold to us. And we miss our real claim, the greatest treasure from the divine.
But we are locked as if in our own situation. Is it not? May be it is atomic. But once we crouch into it, it seems quite convenient. It becomes our comfort couch. We would rather like to drag the Divine also into it. But the Divine beats us into it. Knowing well all the tricks of the tiny, the Divine has gone already immanent into our soul. Long before the start of everything, it has hid itself into us, goading us unseen from the inside, to go and claim our real inheritance, the constant voice driving us from within.
How it does this, how we can cooperate in this divine plan imbedded in us from the start, is the guidance which Kena Upanishad is going to give us.
