दैवमेवापरे यज्ञं योगिनः पर्युपासते | ब्रह्माग्नावपरे यज्ञं यज्ञेनैवोपजुह्वति
daivamevāpare yajñaṃ yoginaḥ paryupāsate . brahmāgnāvapare yajñaṃ yajñenaivopajuhvati
其他瑜伽士(Yogis)僅向天神(Devas)獻祭,另有瑜伽士則以「我」為祭品,在梵(Brahman)之火中,由「我」自身獻祭。
Other yogis undertake sacrifice to gods alone, Others offer the Self, as a sacrifice by the Self itself, in the fire of Brahman.
一些致力於業瑜伽(Karma Yoga)的瑜伽士(Yogis)向光明者或天神(Devas)舉行祭祀儀式。第二種祭祀是智祭(JnanaYajna)或智慧奉獻,由致力於智瑜伽(Jnana Yoga)的人們執行。在此祭祀中,祭品是「我」。這裡的「Yajna」意指「我」。透過無明而疊加於梵(Brahman)之上的限制性條件(Upadhis),如肉體、心智、智力等,被消除,個體靈魂與至高靈魂或梵的同一性得以實現。在梵中獻祭「我」,即是透過直接認知(Aparoksha Anubhuti)而知曉個體靈魂與梵是同一的。這是最高的祭祀。那些安住於梵、那些已證悟其與至高我(Paramatma)合一的人們,執行這種祭祀。這優於所有其他祭祀。
Some Yogis who are devoted to Karma Yoga perform sacrificial rites to the shining ones or Devas (gods). The second Yajna is JnanaYajna or the wisdom sacrifice performed by those who are devoted to Jnana Yoga. The oblation in this sacrifice is the Self. Yajna here means the Self. The Upadhis or the limiting adjuncts such as the physical body? the mind? the intellect? etc.? which are superimposed on Brahman through ignorance are sublated and the identity of the individual soul with the Supreme Soul or Brahman is realised. To sacrifice the self in Brahman is to know through direct cognition (Aparoksha Anubhuti) that the individual soul is identical with Brahman. This is the highest Yajna. Those who are established in Brahman? those who have realised their oneness with the Supreme Soul or Paramatma perform this kind of sacrifice. This is superior to all other sacrifices.
