Brahman is the oblation; Brahman is the melted butter (ghee); by Brahman is the oblation poured into the fire of Brahman; Brahman verily shall be reached by him who always sees Brahman in action.

The offering is Brahman, the oblation is Brahman, poured by Brahman into the fire that is Brahman. Brahman alone is reached by one who sees Brahman in all action.

Explication
This verse, often recited before meals, sees every part of a sacrifice as Brahman. The act of offering, the oblation, the fire, the one who offers, and the goal reached are all Brahman. Some traditions read this as the vision of non-duality, in which all distinctions are seen as one reality. Others read it as seeing the divine present in every element of action. In either reading, the verse shows how action performed with such awareness is no longer a source of bondage but a direct expression of the highest.
