Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

All actions originate from the Supreme Spirit, which is Imperishable, and in sacrificial actions, the all-pervasive Spirit is consciously present.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Know that action comes from Brahma, and Brahma comes from the Imperishable. Therefore, the all-pervasive Brahma ever rests in sacrifice.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
