Sri Ishopanisad mantra 1 summary notes MRdd
If we want to avoid karmic entanglement, which is the ultimate goal of life, we have to acknowledge
the Lord.
What happens when we acknowledge the Lord? That time we are living in harmony with nature:"My
dear Lord, you have given this to me & I thank you for what you have given & please accept my
gratitude through the prayers that I am offering & please let me serve you with my life."
The point of offering the food to the Lord is to understand that the Lord is actually the enjoyer.
Offering food is jagija. Krishna by His potency purifies the food from all karmic reactions & food
becomes spiritualisised not only karma free, it is bhakti-fed. It elevates us and enables us to develop
the love of God. At one level our goal is to acknowledge the Lord, but beyond that we want to love the
Lord and for the sake of loving the God we want to purify us not only from karmic reactions but from
sinful desires that we have in our heart. Prasadam prayers are profound prayers!
