IsU 12 — Īśa Upaniṣad

IsU 12

अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽसम्भूतिमुपासते । ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ सम्भूत्याँ रताः

andhaṃ tamaḥ praviśanti ye 'sambhūtim upāsate | tato bhūya iva te tamo ya u sambhūtyāṃ ratāḥ

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

They fall into blind darkness who worship the Unmanifested and they fall into greater darkness who worship the manifested.

Translated by Swami Paramananda

All who worship what is not the true cause, enter into blind darkness: those who delight in the true cause, enter, as it were, into greater darkness.

Translated by F. Max Müller
