Where is Isha awasa?

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम पूर्णात पूर्णमुदच्यते |
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ||

Om Poornamadah poornamidam poornaat poornamudachyate
poornasya poornamaadaaya poornamevaavashishyate ||

The very first shloka from Ishaavaasya Upanishat. This mentions how the one, which everyone's trying to find, is there in everything and everywhere.

The completeness/wholeness is there and it is here as well. After its accomplishment, it becomes complete and engrossed. This arrives from the whole, does or earns whatever it has to by its grace and enters into the Oneness/Wholeness/Completeness Bliss.


इशावास्यमिदम सर्वं यत्किंच जगत्यां जगत |
तेन त्यक्तेन भुंजीथा मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम ||

Ishaavaasyamidam sarvam yatkincha jagatyaam jagat
tEne tyaktena bhunjeethaa ma grudhah kasyasviddhanam ||


The above shloka continues in the Upanishat and says that everything here is the abode of Isha (God - not to be confused with the Lord Ishwara and that is different) accepting the God's omni presence and highlights that this is just a small world that we live, in this huge universe. The shloka suggests to understand this in particular and just leave everything that is ego-centric as this is the treasure that one has to earn.
