The nicest thing about every true follower of Sri Aurobindo is that he/she not only believes in the Ideal of Human Unity, but also takes conscious efforts towards harmonizing the forces to manifest his ideal.
The Literary Genius of Isha Upanishad: Shloka 8 asnaviram
अस्नाविरम् means without sinews, tendons, ligaments, veins
Snayu and sinew share the same roots
This is an extremely appropriate description of Isha. The Isha has no connective tissue. Thus, it cannot break down. The Isha is nonphysical and is free of any binding. Yet, it holds everything together
Akaayam, avrinam and asnaviram take us away from any known experience of connecting
Curiously, this liberates the student since the Isha is everywhere and extremely close, yet without any limitations.

The Literary Genius of Isha Upanishad: Ullekha Alankara
A large part of Isha Upanishad is an Ullekha Alankara. That is, it lists the qualities of Isha. Shloka 8 is a remarkable illustration of Ullekha
But what an amazing execution! Every adjective and description carefully chosen and combined, apt and organized
A lesser hand would make it obvious or boring. In the Isha every time I read it I find something new
That is the genius of a literary or musical kaleidoscope. It is constantly rearranging itself with each turn. It is always fresh and delightful and changes according to the needs and aptitude of the reader. The Vedic seers are masters of this figure of speech
