ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
२३ ।। सम्बन्ध-- पूर्वश्लीकर्में यह बात कही ययी कि यज्ञके लिये कर्म करनेवाले पुरुषके समस्त कर्म विलीन हो जाते हैं। वहाँ केवल अग्निरें हविका हवन करना ही यज्ञ है और उसका सम्पादन करनेके लिये की जानेवाली क्रिया ही यज्ञके लिये कर्म करना है
brahmārpaṇaṁ brahma havir brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam | brahmaiva tena gantavyaṁ brahma-karma-samādhinā ||
В этом жертвоприношении само подношение есть Брахман; жертвенная доля — Брахман; огонь, в который она возливается, — Брахман; и приносящий жертву — Брахман. Для йогина, чей ум погружён в Брахмана и кто созерцает действие как Брахмана, цель, достигаемая таким действием, есть один лишь Брахман.

Educational Q&A
All components of sacrificial action—offerer, offering, fire, and the act—are to be contemplated as Brahman. When action is performed with this non-dual awareness and without ego-claim, it becomes purifying rather than binding, and its culmination is realization of Brahman.
In the midst of Arjuna’s crisis on the battlefield, Krishna continues teaching how disciplined action can lead to freedom. He expands the idea of yajña beyond a mere fire-ritual, presenting a contemplative vision in which duty itself, rightly understood and offered, becomes a spiritual practice leading to the highest goal.
