यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम् । नायं लोकोऽस्त्ययज्ञस्य कुतोऽन्यः कुरुसत्तम॥६-२६-३१॥

Those who partake of the nectar-like remnant of sacrifice attain the eternal Brahman. For one who does not sacrifice, even this world is not attainable—how then the other, O best of the Kurus?

english translation

एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे । कर्मजान्विद्धि तान्सर्वानेवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे॥६-२६-३२॥

Thus, many kinds of sacrifices are set forth from the mouth of Brahman. Know them all to arise from action; understanding this, you will be released.

english translation

श्रेयान्द्रव्यमयाद्यज्ञाज्ज्ञानयज्ञः परंतप । सर्वं कर्माखिलं पार्थ ज्ञाने परिसमाप्यते॥६-२६-३३॥

The sacrifice consisting of knowledge is superior to sacrifice consisting of material offerings, O scorcher of foes. All action, without remainder, culminates in knowledge, O Pārtha.

english translation

तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया । उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः॥६-२६-३४॥

Know that through reverent submission, through inquiry, and through service. The knowers—those who see reality—will instruct you in knowledge.

english translation

यज्ज्ञात्वा न पुनर्मोहमेवं यास्यसि पाण्डव । येन भूतान्यशेषेण द्रक्ष्यस्यात्मन्यथो मयि॥६-२६-३५॥

Knowing this, O Pāṇḍava, you will not again fall into such delusion; by it you will see all beings, without remainder, in the Self—and also in Me.
