Sri Isopanisad
om
purnam adah purnam idam
purnat purnam udacyate
purnasya purnam adaya
purnam evavasisyate
The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because
He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete
wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in
itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete
balance.
isavasyam
idam sarvam
yat kinca jagatyam jagat
tena tyaktena bhunjitha
ma grdhah kasya svid dhanam
Everything animate or inanimate that is within the universe is
controlled and owned by the Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set aside as his
quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well to whom they
belong.
kurvann eveha
karmani
jijivisec chatam samah
evam tvayi nanytheto 'sti
na karma lipyate nare
One may aspire to live for hundreds of years if he continuously
goes on working in that way, for that sort of work will not bind him to the law of karma. There is no alternative to this way for
man.
asurya nama
te loka
andhena tamasavrtah
tams te pretyabhigacchanti
ye ke catma-hano janah
The killer of the soul, whoever he may be, must enter into the
planets known as the worlds of the faithless, full of darkness and
ignorance.
