| Brahman is the oblation. Brahman is the
clarified butter. The oblation is poured by Brahman into the are of
Brahman. Brahman shall be realized by the one who considers everything as (a manifestation or)
an act of
Brahman. (Also see 9.16) (4.24)
Some yogis perform the Yajna of worship to Devas alone,
while others over Yajna itself as offering in the are of Brahman by performing the Yajna (of
Self - knowledge). (4.25)
Some offer their hearing and other senses (as
sacrifice) in the fires of restraint, others offer sound and other objects of the senses (as
sacrifice) in the fires of the senses. (4.26)
Others offer all the functions of the senses, and the
functions of Prana (or the five bioimpulses) as sacrifice in the fire of the yoga of
self-restraint that is kindled by knowledge. (4.27) |
