Bg 17.24
tasmad om ity udahrtya
yajña-dana-tapah-kriyah
pravartante vidhanoktah
satatam brahma-vadinam

Translation: 
Therefore, transcendentalists undertaking performances of sacrifice, charity and penance in accordance with scriptural regulations begin always with om, to attain the Supreme.

Purport: 
Om tad visnoh paramam padam (Rg Veda 1.22.20). The lotus feet of Visnu are the supreme devotional platform. The performance of everything on behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead assures the perfection of all activity.
