1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 25

Maharishinam bhruguh aham giram asmi ekam aksharam I

yagyanam japa yagyah asmi sthavaranam himalayah II sloka 25

महारिषिणां  भृगुः अहम् गिरां अस्मि एकं अक्षरम् I

यज्ञानां जप यज्ञः अस्मि स्थावराणां हिमालयः II श्लोक 25

Of the great rishis I am bhrigu; of utterances I am the monosyllable "Om". Of yagnas I am japa yoga and of unmoving things I am the Himalaya.

Among the rishis born of the mind of the Iswara, Bhrigu is ever in the highest superconscious plane. So the Lord is revealed  through him.

"Om" is the most sacred sound symbol of Iswara. Constant utterance of this monosyllable takes us closer to Iswara.

Yajna is the act of the jivatman making himself over to the paramatman. The easiest and most potent of all yagnas is the japa yagna. Constant mental repitition of the Lords name is japa yagna. It can be performed at any time and in the midst of any other activity. It involves no harm or hindrance to anybody. The Lord is present where the japa yagna takes place. 

The vegetable kingdom is classified as the unmoving beings. They are stationary lives, growing and thriving in the same place. Hills and mountains are held as imbued with dormant life. They are therefore classified along with the vegetable kingdom. Among the mountains  the Himalaya is the greatest, striking wonder in its beholder. The glory of the Lord is patent in it.
