Chapter 17 verse 25
“Persons who do not desire rewards of action, but seek to be free from material entanglements, utter the word “Tat” along with acts of austerity, sacrifice, and charity.”
Further
with starting all actions, austerities, sacrifices and charity with the
primordial sound of Om, surrendering all actions to Supreme Divine-“Tat-That”
will purify those actions and eliminate doer ship for all those actions. Sandhya
vandanam (prayer at dawn, noon and dusk to the elements and the Divine) and
other Vedic rites usually end with “OM TAT SAT BRAHMA ARPANAM ASTI” which means
all that I did is surrendered completely to the parabrahmam which pervades the
entire universe and all actions taken in it. Further it also ends with none of
these material things are mine and belongs to Him alone. We may have lost some
of this understanding since we do these rituals in the Sanskrit language and
several of us don’t understand the meaning of what we are saying. Our ancestors
have devised these daily actions which keeps us on the narrow righteous path
always.
