Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 24

Krishna said
ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्महविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम्।ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना ॥4.24॥

brahmārpaṇaṃ brahmahavirbrahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutambrahmaiva tena gantavyaṃ brahmakarmasamādhinā

Meaning

The act of offering is Brahman (the Absolute), the offering is Brahman, poured by Brahman into the fire that is Brahman. One who sees Brahman in every act reaches Brahman.

हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्पण करने की क्रिया ब्रह्म है, अर्पित वस्तु ब्रह्म है, ब्रह्म रूपी अग्नि में ब्रह्म द्वारा ही आहुति दी जाती है। जो हर कर्म में ब्रह्म को देखता है, वह ब्रह्म को ही प्राप्त होता है।

Practise it today

Before your first meal today, pause for a moment and see the food, the cook and yourself as part of one sacred whole, then eat slowly.

Reflect tonight

How did that pause before eating change the way you ate today?
