Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

Chapter 3: The Path of Action (Karma yoga). Text 15

karma brahmodbhavaá¹ viddhi brahmÄká¹£ara-samudbhavam tasmÄt sarva-gataá¹ brahma nityaá¹ yajñe pratiṣṭhitam [15]

viddhi–Know that; karma–action; brahma-udbhavam–is born of the Vedas. brahma–The Vedas; aká¹£ara-samudbhavam–are born of Aká¹£ara, the Imperishable. tasmÄt–Therefore; sarva-gatam–the all-pervading; brahma–Supreme Lord; nityam pratiá¹£thitam–is always situated; yajñe–within sacrifice. [15]


Text

Action is prescribed in the Vedas, and the Vedas originate in Aká¹£ara, the Imperishable. Therefore, the all-pervading, imperishable Lord is ever present within the acts of sacrifice offered to Him.
