तस्माद्ऋचः साम यजूंषि दीक्षा यज्ञाश्च सर्वे क्रतवो दक्षिणाश्च। संवत्सरश्च यजमानश्च लोकाः सोमो यत्र पवते यत्र सूर्यः॥

tasmādṛcaḥ sāma yajūṃṣi dīkṣā yajñāśca sarve kratavo dakṣiṇāśca | saṃvatsaraśca yajamānaśca lokāḥ somo yatra pavate yatra sūryaḥ ||

"From Him come the Rig, Sama, and Yajur Vedas, initiation, all sacrifices, rituals, gifts, the year, the sacrificer, and the worlds where the moon shines and the sun."

What This Means:

From Purusha come all the Vedas, all rituals, time itself (the year), those who sacrifice, and all the worlds illumined by sun and moon.

Going Deeper:

Even the means of worship (Vedas, rituals) emerge from the one being worshipped. The worshipper and worshipped are not separate.

How To Apply This:

Your practice itself comes from the divine. Worship and worshipped are one.
