28 Sri Isopanisad

everything is but the potency of the Lord, can lead one to the
revival of his original consciousness, which was lost on account
of association with maya, the external energy.

All power is obtained from the Lord, and therefore each
particular power must be utilized to execute the will of the
Lord, and not otherwise. The Lord can be known by one who
has adopted a submissive attitude. Perfect knowledge means
to know the Lord in all His features, to know about His potencies
and how such potencies are working by His will. These things
are exclusively described by the Lord in the Bhagavad-gita,
which is the essence of all the Upanisads.

He is outside of everything.
