Bhagavad Gita 10.25 is Chapter 10, Verse 25, in Vibhuti Yoga (Divine Manifestations). Below are the Sanskrit text, a transliteration, a plain-English translation and an explanation.
maharṣīṇāṁ bhṛgur ahaṁ girām asmy ekam akṣaram yajñānāṁ japa-yajño 'smi sthāvarāṇāṁ himālayaḥ
"Among great sages I am Bhrigu; among words I am the single syllable Om; among sacrifices I am the sacrifice of silent repetition; among immovable things I am the Himalayas."
What This Means:
Among sages, Bhrigu. Among words, Om (the one syllable containing all). Among rituals, japa (silent mantra repetition). Among mountains, the Himalayas.
Going Deeper:
Japa-yajna as the supreme sacrifice is significant: silent, internal, requiring no external materials. The most refined worship is the simplest. And Om contains all words.
How To Apply This:
The practice of japa (mantra repetition) is highlighted as supreme among sacrifices. You don't need elaborate rituals, sincere repetition is powerful. And Om contains everything.
