25. Other yogins perform sacrifices to Devas only; while others offer the self as sacrifice by the Self Itself in the fire of Brahman. Other yogins, those devoted to action (karma) perform only sacrifices in adoration to Devas (gods); while others, the knpwers of Brahman, offer the self as sacrifice by the Self Itself in the fire of Brahman. By Brahman is denoted That which is described in the following texts- "Brahman is the Real, Consciousness, the Infinite "[1]; "Brahman (is) Consciousness and Bliss"[2] "Brahman, which is directly cognised by all and which is the Innermost Self of all"[3]; and which is bereft of all attributes of mundane existence such as hunger, and is devoid of all characteristic marks as taught by Scripture, "It is not this; It is not this".[4] |
