उपनिषदःin the light of Sri Aurobindo

The thirteen / Īśā Upanishad / The eighteen mantras

ĪŚĀ UPANISHAD · 2

कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छतं समाः ।
एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे ॥

kurvanneveha karmāṇi jijīviṣecchataṃ samāḥ ।
evaṃ tvayi nānyatheto’sti na karma lipyate nare ॥

Doing verily works in this world one should wish to live a hundred years. Thus it is in thee and not otherwise than this; action cleaves not to a man.

Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 17, p. 5
