Commentary (टीका)
The sloka describes two forms of sacrifices or *yajñas* practiced by Yogis. The first is the *daiva-yajña*, practiced by those who are immersed in *karma-yoga* (Path of Action). For them, all actions are offerings to the Devas (deities), denoting devotion and surrender. The second is the *brahma-yajña*, practiced by those dedicated to *jñāna-yoga* (Path of Knowledge), where the self is the offering, realizing its unity with Brahman. It symbolizes the higher knowledge of losing individual identity in the Supreme Consciousness, leading to self-realization and liberation. The conceptual division emphasizes using different paths based on temperament and inclinations to achieve spiritual progress.
The English commentary explains that for some Yogis, the comprehensive sacrifice involves actions devoted to higher divine purposes, while others, through understanding and wisdom, realize and dissolve the ego into the universal spirit. This spiritual education emphasizes varied approaches to divine unity, offering insights into holistic spiritual practices.Modern practitioners gain from these timeless teachings by aligning them to personal spiritual goals, using *karma-yoga* for devout service, or *jñāna-yoga* for enlightening realization. Both paths ultimately lead to self-transcendence and unity with Paramatma (Supreme Soul).
