Ishavasya Upanishad is the first of the ten major Upanishads. One of the smallest upanishads in terms of expanse, it is the only upanishad to be a part of the Vedic Samhita. It comes in the 40th adhyaya of the Shukla Yajurveda. Composed in the verse form, it's also considered to be one of the earliest upanishads. In its 18 verses it explores several philosophical concepts: Isha and jagat, the relationship between karma (action, meaning) and Jnana (wisdom), and the correlation between ill-intended actions and the resultant darkness.
