brahmArpaNaM brahma havirbrahmagnau brahmaNA hutaM |
brahmaiva tena gantavyaM brahmakarmasamAdhinA ||
He who knows that sacrificial articles (things offered) are Brahman, that
clarified butter (oblation) is Brahman, that Brahman is the fire, that
Brahman is the act of throwing the offerings into the fire & that Brahman is
the sacrifice along with meditation, is the only person that reaches Brahman
Bhaghavath Geetha Chapter 9- 27,
yatkaroShi yadshnAsi yajjuhoShi dadAsi yat.h |
yattapasyasi kaunteya tatkuruShva madarpaNaM ||
O Kunti’s son, whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer into
the fire, whatever you give, what austerities you practice, dedicate the
same as an offering to ME, (with a clear notion that you are not an
independent agent & that all acts are prompted by God & therefore they are
to be rendered to HIM.)
