Sacrifice

Some Scholars say “Renouncing the actions to fulfil personal desire is Sanyasa.” While others claim “ Renouncing the benefits of all actions including one’s duties (karma) is Sacrifice.”

God Krishna confirms “One should surrender all desires and the effects of actions, good or bad. But one should never give up the actions and duties.”

The compliance of above will relieve such person from the vicious cycle of birth and death, and gain the everlasting bliss.

Tamasic sacrifice results from the non-performance of duties that are compulsory for one’s life.

Rajasic sacrifice refers to the abstience from duites owing to the fear and pain of such duties.

When the duties of scriptures are considered vital and performed, but sacrificing the fruits of  them, it’s called as Satvic sacrifice.

A person who performs all actions with equipoise, whether yielding benefits or not, is said to be a pure satvic- minded and doing true sacrifice. Because, a person cannot escape from duties, and ONLY the outcome of such duties can be sacrificed.

The benefits of actions as bad or good, or mixture of both accrue to the person after death if doesn't sacrifice them. No such accrual occurs to the sacrificing person. For instance, even if a person having no pride or desire in any objects or actions, kills anybody, that person will not be bound by any sins or in fact, no crime is said to be committed.

Continuous and Unselfish actions of a person enable that person to attain the permanent abode of God.

Focus, pray,  and devote to God. That is the sure way to reach Him.

Submit all your actions to God without attachment to the outcome of the deeds. He will take care of you forever. Because, humans are bound to discharge their duties only.

One who spreads the message of Bhagvadgita is always loved by God. But, never teach God’s message to a person neglecting or denigrating it.
