‘‘Having the mind established in knowledge’’ — here he explains ‘‘offering to Brahman.’’ All this is called Brahman because it functions under the rule of the dependent reality; not because it is identical in its own nature. ‘‘Having renounced the dependent’’ is stated because all say ‘‘You are the all’’ (sarvo bhavān). The sages say: ‘‘All is that,’’ not ‘‘all is the very nature of that’’ (Padma). ‘‘All is that’’ (Yoga Vasistha / Upanishadic citations). With samadhi, action becomes Brahman itself.
