Gita reflection Ch 17 verses 25 & 26

23rd November 2024


The word 'Om' is a single syllable that represents the Supreme Reality, Brahman. It is essential to remember Brahman in every ritual.

The word 'Tat' means 'That'. This statement of Truth declared in the Upanishads, clarifies that Brahman is the goal to be reached, even though it may seem distant to the seeker.

After uttering the word 'Tat', acts of sacrifice, austerity, and charity are performed without concern for results by those seeking Liberation. This is because offering everything to Brahman without selfish intent alone can purify the mind.

Since all sacrifices, charities, and austerities are intended for auspicious results, the word 'Sat' follows 'Tat'. The word 'Sat' is used to indicate something coming into being and someone becoming good.
