Chapter 4 - Verse 32

एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे ।
कर्मजान्विद्धि तान्सर्वानेवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे ॥ ३२ ॥

evaṃ bahuvidhā yajñā vitatā brahmaṇo mukhe .
karmajānviddhi tānsarvānevaṃ jñātvā vimokṣyase .. 32 ..


Thus manifold sacrifices are spread at the mouth of Brahman. Know them all as born of action. Thus knowing, thou shalt be liberated.
Read the commentary

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 prāṇa 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 realise 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 saṃsara.

Wisdom-sacrifice 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.
