1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 4 -JnanaKarmaSanyasa Yoga - Sloka 32

Evam bahuvidha yagna vitata brahmanah mukhe I

Karma gyan viddhi tan sarvan evam gyatva vimokshyase II sloka 32

एवं बहुविधा यज्ञ वितता ब्रह्मणः मुखे ।

कर्म ज्ञान विद्धि तान् सर्वान एवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे ।। श्लोक ३२ 

Various yagnas such as these are spread out in the storehouse of the vedas. Know them all to be born of karma; and thus knowing you shall be free.

The four-faced Brahma, Veda, Prakriti, nature, phenomenon, maya -  all these terms refer to the same reality. The knower of the veda is he who knows how nature functions. nature is the embodiment of karma. And there is in it a divine design of karma. They who convert karma into yagna construe and conform to the sacred plan of nature. All the happenings in nature are capable of being converted into yagna. While karma in its ordinary form is binding, in the form of yagna, it is liberating.

How does liberation ensue? The clarification comes in the next sloka
