# The message of Isopanishad *Sri Isopanishad is one of the principal Upanishads and contains the essence of Vedic wisdom in just eighteen mantras. It establishes that everything belongs to the Lord and should be used in His service. The Isopanishad teaches the balance between spiritual knowledge and devotional action, warning against both gross materialism and dry renunciation. It reveals the personal nature of the Absolute Truth.* ## Everything Belongs to the Lord ![[iso/1]] ![[sb/1/1/1]] ## Use Everything in Krishna's Service ![[bg/3/9]] ![[sb/5/1/22]] ## The Complete Whole ![[iso/invocation]] ![[sb/2/6/32]] ## Knowledge and Action Together ![[iso/11]] ![[bg/3/4]] ## The Lord Is Both Personal and Impersonal ![[iso/5]] ![[bg/9/4]] ## Prayer to See the Lord's Real Form ![[iso/15]] ![[iso/16]] ## From the Index - [[index/entries/isopanisad|Isopanishad]] — The foremost Upanishad - [[index/entries/upanishads|Upanishads]] — The philosophical section of the Vedas - [[index/entries/vedas|Vedas]] — The original scriptures - [[index/entries/absolute-truth|Absolute Truth]] — The ultimate reality
