कर्म ब्रह्मोद्भवं विद्धि ब्रह्माक्षरसमुद्भवम् ।तस्मात्सर्वगतं ब्रह्म नित्यं यज्ञे प्रतिष्ठितम् ॥

From food creatures come into being, from rain is the birth of food, from sacrifice comes into being the rain, sacrifice is born of work; work know to be born of Brahman, Brahman is born of the Immutable; therefore is the all-pervading Brahman established in the sacrifice.
Gītā 3·15The connecting logic of the “therefore” and the repetition of the word brahma are significant; for it shows clearly that the Brahman from which all work is born has to be understood with an eye not so much to the current Vedic teaching in which it means the Veda as to a symbolical sense in which the creative Word is identical with the all-pervading Brahman, the Eternal, the one Self present in all existences, sarvabhüteñu and present in all the workings of existence.
