I am the ritual, I am the sacrifice, and I am the offering. I am the medicinal herb and melted butter that is offered to the fire. I am the father, mother, guardian, and grandfather of this universe. I am the object of knowledge, the purifying syllable Om, and the sacred scriptures. I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the home, the shelter, and the trusted friend. I am the creation and I am the destruction. I am the basis of everything and the eternal seed. I give heat and withhold rain. I am death and immortality, being and non-being.
