Lord Rāmacandra Rules the World
105
yathā taror mūla-niṣecanena tṛpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopaśākhāḥ prāṇopahārāc ca yathendriyāṇām tathaiva sarvārhaṇam acyutejyā
“As pouring water on the root of a tree nourishes the trunk, branches, twigs and leaves, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead satisfies the demigods, who are part of that Supreme Personality.” Performing  yajña  involves worshiping the Supreme Lord. Here the Supreme Lord worshiped the Supreme Lord. Therefore it is said,  bhagavān ātmanātmānam īje : the Lord worshiped Himself by Himself. This does not, of course, justify the Māyāvāda philosophy, by which one thinks himself the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The  jīva , the living entity, is always different from the Supreme Lord. The living entities ( vibhinnāmiśa ) never become one with the Lord, although Māyāvādīs sometimes imitate the Lord’s worship of Himself. Lord Kṛṣṇa meditated upon Himself every morning as a  gṛhastha , and similarly Lord Rāmacandra performed  yajñas  to satisfy Himself, but this does not mean that an ordinary living being should imitate the Lord by accepting the process of  ahaṅgraha-upāsanā . Such unauthorized worship is not recommended herein.
