The Ethics of the Ishavasya Upanishad
"One of the main features of the Ishavasya Upanishad, is the ethical advice
it offers, and it is interesting to note that the ethics of the Upanishad are
definitely based upon the meta-physical position advanced in it. The very
opening words of the Upanishad tell us that God pervades every thing. As a
corollary from this metaphysical position, the ethical advice it offers is, that
a man ought to enjoy whatever God bestows on him in the firm belief, that as He
pervades everything, whatever is bestowed on him by God must be good. It follows
naturally, that the Upanishad should forbid us from coveting another man's
property. In fact, we are fittingly taught here a lesson of contentment with
one's own lot in the belief that whatever happens, it is divinely ordained and
it is hence good for us. Another moral advice is, that man must spend his
life-time always in doing action, specially the karmas enjoined in the Shastras,
in a mood of believing resignation to His will. Inactivity, according to this
Upanishad, would be the canker of the soul. It is only when a man spends his
life-time on doing actions in this manner, that he can hope to attain the ideal
of Naishkarmya. Finally, the text goes on to say that a man, who sees all beings
in the Self and sees the Self as existing in all beings; in fact, for whom all
beings and everything that exists have becomes the Self - how can such a man
suffer infatuation? What ground would such a man have for grief? Loathfulness,
infatuation and grief verily proceed from our not being able to see the Atman in
all things. But a man, who realizes the oneness of all things, for whom
everything has become the Self, must ipso facto, cease to be affected by the
common foibles of humanity. (Page 169-170 of The Creative Period by Messrs.
Belvalkar and Ranade).

THE SAPATNEKAR FAMILY'S SHIRDI PILGRIMAGE
While my husband was in Shirdi, Panditharao's wife and I were
sleeping in the same room. I had a divine dream. A great light flashed in front
of me. I suddenly remembered that there was no water in the house and left for
the Lakadshah well with a pot to get water. In those days daughters-in-law were
forbidden to go anywhere unattended, so I was hurrying so that I could get the
water before my father-in-law returned from court. As I neared the well, I saw a
fakir standing nearby. He had a piece of cloth tied around his head and was
wearing a kufni (a long shirt-like garment coming
down to mid-calf). He drew near and said, “Woman! Why do you trouble yourself
like this? I will fill your pot with clean water.” I was scared that he might
think of doing me harm. In the meanwhile, flouting all sense of decency, he
lifted his kufni and squatted to urinate right in
front of me. My apprehension of his mischievous intentions deepened and I
thought that he might try to molest me, so I ran towards our house. He followed
me repeating, “Do not run away, oh woman! You will repent later. I have come
here to give you one thing.” I reached home fast and slammed home the bolts and
locked all the doors. He was still standing outside the house and throwing
pebbles through the small window, which was open. “I want to give you one thing,
oh woman,” he kept saying. I did not know what to do and tried to scream for
help. My dream vanished and I was awake. I woke up Panditharao’s wife and asked
her the time. She got up and asked me if I was unable to sleep.
I
was telling my mother-in-law of my dream the following morning, when my
father-in-law overheard from the next room. He walked in and wanted to know all
the details. After hearing me patiently to the end he said that it must have
been Sai Baba who came to me in my dream. He said that it was very auspicious
that Baba had come and that it boded well for our family. While this was going
on, my husband returned from Shirdi and told us the details of his
trip.
It seems my husband went to the mosque and approached Baba to touch
his feet and salute him. As he bent down to touch Baba’s feet, Baba suddenly
shouted, “Chal hut!” (Go away!) and pushed him away so hard that my husband’s
headdress fell a long way. My husband was woebegone and came out of the mosque.
He stayed for two more days and tried to have Baba’s darshan with the help of the other devotees present there, but whenever Baba
saw my husband, he would shout “Chal hut!” again and would not even let him draw
near. Disheartened, my husband realised that Baba’s darshan and blessings were impossible, and returned to Madhegaon full of
despair. He blamed his father for causing him this anguish as he had sent him to
Shirdi on this fruitless venture.
The next day my father-in-law told my husband of my dream and urged
him to go to Shirdi again and to take me along this time. My husband
prevaricated saying that it was because I had the desire to go to Shirdi and had
gone to sleep with that desire uppermost in my thoughts that that this dream had
come and too much should not be read in to it. But my father-in-law was firm,
“If Sri Sai Baba was angry with you there must have been some failing of yours.
You should take this dream as a good augury and go to Shirdi with her. It is
certain that Baba will do you good.” He ordered, “Take along your elder
sister-in-law too as she has only girls and no male progeny yet.” My husband
could not disobey his father and so we all left for Shirdi. to be
