They glorify Me; seek Me; keep their vows Of reveence and love, with
changeless faith Adoring Me. Yea, and those too adore, Who,
offering sacrifice of wakened hearts, Have sense of one pervading
Spirit's stress, One Force in every place, though manifold! I am the
Sacrifice! I am the Prayer! I am the Funeral-Cake set for the dead!
I am the healing herb! I am the ghee, The Mantra, and the flame, and
that which burns! I am- of all this boundless Universe- The Father,
Mother, Ancestor, and Guard! The end of Learning! That which
purifies In lustral water! I am OM! I am Rig-Veda, Sama-Veda,
Yajur-Ved;
The Way, the Fosterer, the Lord, the
Judge, The Witness; the Abode, the Refuge-House, The Friend, the
Fountain and the Sea of Life Which sends, and swallows up; Treasure
of Worlds And Treasure-Chamber! Seed and Seed-Sower, Whence endless
harvests spring! Sun's heat is mine; Heaven's rain is mine to grant
or to withhold; Death am I, and Immortal Life I am, Arjuna! SAT and
ASAT, Visible Life, And Life Invisible! Yea! those who learn The
threefold Veds, who drink the Soma-wine, Purge sins, pay
sacrifice- from Me they earn Passage to Swarga; where the meats
divine Of great gods feed them in high Indra's heaven.
