Any process of offering is Brahman, the oblation is Brahman, the fire in whichthe offering is made is Brahman, and the one who offers is also a Brahman.Such a person who abides in Brahman indeed gains Brahman.2. Residing in the body of living beings as the digestive fire and being supportedby the vital air (ingoing and outgoing breath), I (Lord Krishna) digest the fourfold(masticated, drunk, licked and sucked) food.Bhagavad Gita, the sacred book of Hind<strong>us</strong>, is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and thewarrior Arjuna. The above two slokas are said by the Lord. These prayers are traditionallychanted before meals and by doing so, the food that is eaten is offered to Brahman, theLord who also abides within oneself.18
