Varieties of Sacrifices -sloka 23-33

Brahma arpanam brahma havih brahma agnau brahmana hutam I

Brahma eva tena gantavyam brahma karma samadhina II sloka 24

ब्रह्म अर्पणम् ब्रह्म हविः ब्रह्म अग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतं  ।

ब्रह्म एव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्म कर्म समाधिना ।। श्लोक २४ 

The oblation  is Brahman, the clarified butter is Brahman, offered by Brahman, in the fire of Brahman; unto Brahman verily he goes who cognises Brahman alone in his action.

He who holds himself the agent to the performance of a sacrifice cherishes the feeling of distinction between himself, the deity to be propritiated, the things offered, the medium of the fire and so on. But he who takes to jnana yagna, the process of enlightenment, views all these as Brahman, the thing in itself. 

Consuming the daily food regularly is obligatory on all including the enlightened; but the latter convert eating itself into jnana yagna.  The food, the eater of it, the digestion - all these are mere modifications  of Brahman even as the waves are of the sea. The one established in brahmavastha in this way attains Brahman.
