भोक्तारम् यग्न तपसाम् सर्व लोक महेश्वरम् ।
सुहृदम् सर्व भूतानाम् ज्ञात्वा माम् शान्तिमृच्छति ॥ २९ ॥


bhoktAram yagna tapasAm sarva loka mahezvaram |
suhRdam sarva bhUtAnAm jJAtvA mAm zAntimRcchati || 29 ||

शान्तिमृच्छति [zAntimRcchati] He will attain peace by माम् ज्ञात्वा [mAm jJAtvA] knowing me, यज्ञ तपसाम् भोक्तारम् [yajJa tapasAm bhoktAram] the enjoyer of worship and prayer, सर्वलोक महेश्वरम् [sarvaloka mahezvaram] the Lord of all the worlds, सर्व भूतानाम् सुहृदम् [sarva bhUtAnAm suhRdam] a friend and ally of all beings.

Worship the Lord to experience the joy of the Self.

The Lord says ‘You will attain fulfillment by knowing Me. I am the one who enjoys worship and prayer, who is the Lord of all worlds, who is a friend and ally of all beings. You shall attain contentment trough activities that aren’t driven by desire, done only to worship Me’.

The Lord is supreme among all those who control us, as said in श्वेतश्वतर ६-७ [zvetazvatara 6-7] . Such a Lord is also the friend and ally of everyone. Knowing Him, knowing that working without being driven by desire is the way to worship Him, a person will stay contented over here. Such people devote themselves to adore and worship the Lord as a friend.
