He who knows the truth, worships the Brahman through the process of exhalation and inhalation. He who knows the truth, worships the Brahman through action performed by the hands and the feet. All these are forms of worship. The worship of the Brahman is in lighting and is showers.
A learned one withdraws himself from the material world. Progressively, he merges into the Brahman, who is in foodgrains, the breath of life, the mind, knowledge and happiness. He obtains all the foodgrains and all the forms that he wants. He roams the universe and chants the glory of the Brahman.
