Shvetashvatara Upanishad 3.1
intermediate
य एको जालवानीशत ईशनीभिः सर्वाँल्लोकानीशत ईशनीभिः। य एवैक उद्भवे सम्भवे च य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति॥
ya eko jālavānīśata īśanībhiḥ sarvāṃllokānīśata īśanībhiḥ | ya evaika udbhave sambhave ca ya etadviduramṛtāste bhavanti ||
"He who alone, possessing the net (of maya), rules with His ruling powers, who rules all worlds with His ruling powers, who alone is at creation and dissolution - those who know this become immortal."
What This Means:
The one Lord who holds the net of maya rules all worlds. He alone is at the beginning and end. Those who know Him become immortal.
Going Deeper:
Ishvara possesses maya (the net) and exercises ruling power (ishanibhi). He is both efficient and material cause of creation and dissolution.
How To Apply This:
Know the one Lord who rules all worlds with the net of maya. This knowledge brings immortality.
