Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 4 verse 24


Chapter 4 verse 24

“Brahman is the oblation; Brahman is the clarified butter, and so on, constituting the offerings; by Brahman is the oblation poured into the fire of Brahman; Brahman verily shall be reached by him who always sees Brahman in all actions”

‘Brahmarpanam Brahmahavir…’ I have heard this sloka uttered in fire sacrifices but didn’t know the meaning of what it meant. Along with ‘Sarvam Brahamarpanam (Everything is offered to the immutable Self)’ which is uttered at the end of rituals, this is an important utterance and attitudinal prayer. Lord says everything pervading the universe is the Brahman (immutable Self), hence all actions or offerings is done to the immutable Self by the immutable Self, The person who has this attitude sees Self in everything, everybody and in all actions and hence reaches that state of selflessness and higher Self
