sacrifices are spread at the mouth of Brahman. Know them all as born of
action. Thus knowing, thou shalt be liberated.Thus various sacrifices, such
as those mentioned above, are spread at the mouth of Brahman, i.e, are known
from the Vedas through such passages as the following: We sacrifice prana
in speech. Know that they are all born of the not Self; of action in deed,
speech and thought,for the Self is actionless. If you realize that these
are not my actions, I am actionless, I am unconcerned, you will be released,
by this right knowledge, from evil, from the bond of samsara.Wisdomsacrifice
is superior to other sacrifices.Right knowledge was represented as a sacrifice
in iv. 24. Then several sacrifices have been taught. Knowledge is now extolled
as compared with these latter kinds of sacrifices which are all means of
attaining the several objects of human pursuit |
