Quote of the Week
"Brahman is the act of offering; Brahman is the oblation poured by Brahman into the fire that is Brahman. To Brahman alone must he go who is fixed in Brahman through action."
Bhagavad-Gita 4.24
Commentary: This verse is a beautiful expression of God's omnipresence. It reminds us of the truth that our Creator is the Source, Course, and Goal, of every action we seem to take, even the ones we judge to be unworthy, bad or wrong from our physical perspective. But especially the actions that involve communion, such as meditation, prayer, or any in which God is the focus. In these activities God plays all parts, viz: God is the author of every offering (gift giving offered in reverence). God is the One to Whom the offering is given; She is the Fire that consumes the offering; She is the Giver, the Receiver, and the Offering itself. The teaching here is that when we participate in offering, we join in complete communion with God. Thus is communing the highest and most blessed kind or action for it allows us to become one with God. When God is our fixed focus, every action brings us to God..

It is said that we need do nothing to gain enlightenment for we are already unified with God, but since actions are unavoidable, the best and highest actions we can take are those that reverentially focus on God, for such actions easily bring us into direct union with our Creator. Therefore, let our actions be reverential reminders of our Creator: Let us everyday hear a reverential song, read a reverential poem, see a reverential picture, and if possible, speak a few reverential words.
