Isavasya upanishad – Mantra -1

ॐ ईशावास्यमिद गुं सर्वं यत् किञ्च जगत्यां जगत् | तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृध: कस्य स्विद् धनम् || १

Isha-by the Lord: aavasyam-controlled: idam-this: sarvam-all: yat kincha-whatever: jagatyaam-within the universe: jagat-all that is animate and inanimate: tena-by Him: tyaktena-set apart quota: bhunjithaah-you should accept: maa-do not: grdhah-endeavour to gain: kasya svit-of anyone else: dhanam-the wealth.

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.
