Isha upanishad begins with the statement :
That (the Creator) is Complete this Creation is complete ; the complete has come from the Complete and even after complete has come from the Complete, the Complete eternally remains Complete. By the Supreme Being is all this creation pervaded, whatever that exists in creation. Therefore revel in whatever is ordained for you, covet not what is ordained for others.
Nothing in life is easy to understand and every thing is as difficult like an arithmatical problem. Even arithmetical problems can be solved but spiritual problems can hardly be resolved. The Supreme Being is an anigma, concealed in a mystery. In an arithmatical problem if a thing is removed than the original becomes lesser to that extent ; if a thing is included then the original becomes larger to that extent. But in creation the creator does not become less by creation, or great by withdrawal of the creation.
Creator is like happiness which increases with giving it others, and never becomes reduced. Creator is like fragrance which shared with others both the giver and receiver becomes happy and satisfied. Creator is like luminous light which Sharing the light with other lamps does not become less luminous. Creator is like man wise in Wisdom, who sharing his Wisdom with others become richer rather than poorer.
This is lesson for human beings with sense of discrimination to be learnt. When the SupremeBeing gives gifts to the people, he doesnot become poorer by doing so. Man has to give, become charitable because being charitable one does not become poor but richer in merits. Man who is rich in merits deserves rewards from the Lord, which he receives unasked.
Such is the life; thus is the mystery resolved.
