Anything done in such transcendental consciousness is called yajña, or sacrifice for the Absolute. In that condition of spiritual consciousness, the contributor, the contribution, the consumption, the performer or leader of the performance and the result or ultimate gain – everything – becomes one in the Absolute, the Supreme Brahman. (bg. 4.24, purport)
what Srila Prabhupada mean by this? becomes one in absolute?

Hare Krishna,
When Krishna and Arjuna came to Barbarik at the end of Mahabharata war to ask Barbarik what did he see sitting on the top of hill. ( his head was cut and was kept on the top of the hill so that his wish to watch the Mahabharata war fulfilled )
Arjuna eagarly asked Barbarik.. Hey Barbarik .. tell me who is the winner and who lost the war in this great war?
Barbarik replied.. I saw only Keshav everywhwere...
Arjuna replied.. what?? didn't you see me fight? my brother fight??
Didn't you atleast see the kauravas fighing?
Barbarik again replied.. I just saw only Krishna fighting from one end and Krishna losing at another end.. Krishna is hurling the arrow... Krishna is dying.. everywhere..
Krishna smiles.
Barbarik saw Krishna in all it meant that ...Karne wala bhi wahi tha... Karwane wala bhi wahi tha...Karma bhi wahi bana tha.. ( Karta, Karma... Kriya sab Krishna hi banke dikhne lage the Barbarik ko)
Iska matlab yeh hai ki.. woh harr jeev raasi mein Krishna ke hi darshan kar rahe the.. naa ki unko koi pandav ya kaurav nahi dikh raha tha.
When we come to that state of enlightenment where we are only seeing Krishna in everything... Krishna in me,.. Krishna in you.. Krishna in the tree,... Krishna in the stone... Krishna is the doer.. Krishna is only the loser Krishna is only the winner... Ab sam drishti hogaya na..
We are not able to see the out covering of anyone.. ( body) we are just able to see Krishna in all. That type of vision is called Absolute Brahman darshan in all charachar jagat. ( living non living)
There is no more difference between anyone..
In that Movie Narsimaha Avatara.. Prahalaad asked Narayana that i wish to see you everywhere.. .. Lord Narayana gives him divine vision to see Lord in all beings..
The knower- is Krishna
The known - is Krishna
That which has to be known is Krishna
Actor.. director screenplay.. writer.. choreographer everyone is Krishna ..This type of Sam drishti equivision when one gets.. That means we are able to see Parmatma in all beings..
When a person who ( like Prahalada) who was seeing Krishna in the pillar also.. that type of person.. whatever action he does.. be it material or spiritual all actions are offered as offering to the Lord and it becomes a Yajna.
Gopi's were cleaning the utensils..thinking about Krishna
One gopi was boling the milk thinking of Krishna
Another gopi was sweeping and thinking about Krishna
There minds had nothing but Krishna but the body was doing various material activities.. Even though they were doing outwardly all material activities but their minds were fixed on Krishna.
That time.. The gopi is seeing Krishna smiling in boiling milk
That time the gopi is seeing Krishna smilig in the utensils
That time one gopi who was fetching water from yamuna river was seeing Krishna smiling in the water..
Some gopi sweeping the floor... seeing Krishna on the clean floor... smiling
Their material activities are now all turned in pious activities..
Such people are said to have sama drishti and their activites are all pious even though they look outwardly all material.
Such a person who is totally immersed into Krishna all his activities become an offering to Krishna as a Sacrifice or Yajna.
One lady was a devotee of krishna itseems and she was cleaner and sweaper of the temple floors in Vrindavana.. She was curious to know a mantra to please krishna.. so she went to a pandit ji and asked what is a mantra that pleases Krishna easily.
The Pandit ji told.. arey.. tum jo bhi kaarya karo woh bhagwan ko samarpan kar do... wahi sab se badi pooja hai..
aur bole.. tell.. sarvam Krishnaarpanamasthu ..!!!
She said okay pandit ji and she used to use that for everything.. She got so used to.. when cleaning floor..she said sarvam krishnarpanamasthu.. when she dusted she was chanting sarvam krishnarpanmasthu...
It became her daily habit.
One day Narad muni ji.. was passing by saw her put trash into the bin and said aloud.. Sarvam Krishnaaarpanamasthu!
Narad muni ji could see that the trash came fell on the Lord's face.. Then she swept the floor said sarvama Krishnaarpanamasthu!!! the dust flew and fell on Krishna's face
Then she put some water with big bucket on the floor and swept said Sarvam Krishnarpaamasthu!!!.. Narada Muni saw this.. on full bucket full of water fell on Krishna's face..
Narada ran to her.. Oh maaiyi Oh maiyya.. stop this apachaar.. atyachaar on my Lord.
You are offer My soft Lord jaadu and offering my Lord dust and splashing on my Lord's face a bucket full of water.. What are you doing.. Stop Stop..
Mother your heart is so pure that whatever you are saying.. is directly getting offered to Lord.
Bhagwan sab sweekar lete hai jo bhi deta hai bhakt..
Outwardly she was sweeping floor .. doing all material dutites or her job but her mind was on Krishna.. so whatever she was saying was getting offered to Lord.
I am unable to control my laughter.. I am seeing Krishna full of dust, dried leaves and full of dirty muddy water.. HHEHE
Aise bhakt kahan milega..:-)
Aiso Chatak Matak so thaakur teeno lokan hu mai naai jo khel khel mein gwalin se pit jaaye.
Hare Krishna.
Hare Krsna Prabhu
In this verse, the principle of Krsna consciousness is explained.
It is explained that the absolute truth covered by maya or illusion is called matter. We are entangled in material contamination and yet we have to get out of such an environment.
When activities are performed for satisfaction of Visnu, technically known as yajna, the whole atmosphere becomes spiritualized.
Here, one in absolute means that the material veil can be removed at once by Krsna consciousness; thus the offering for the sake of Krsna consciousness, the consuming agent, the process, the contributor all regain their spiritual quality as Brahman, or the Supreme.
