Offer everything as a sacrifice, from the depth of your heart, to Him and you will attain Him and be free
Yog of Knowledge and Action
Chapter 4, Verse 32
evaṁ bahu vidhā yajña
vitatā brahmaṇo mukhe
karmajān viddhi tān sarvān
evaṁ jñātvā vimokṣyase
Therefore, many forms of sacrifice have been extended from the mouth of Brahman. Know that all these are born of work: knowing that, you shall be free.
“Therefore many forms of sacrifice have been extended from the mouth of Brahman.” What does this mean?
Knowing the truth about sacrifice, one will be free from the effects of attachment to action; one will be free from karma. Offer everything to the Lord! Let all karma be erased by your sadhana, by your spiritual practice! Bear in mind that all comes from Him, and that He’s the doer of all.
“Know that all these are born of work: knowing that, you shall be free.” Don’t let pride and ego corrupt you. Don’t think that it is you doing the work. Bear in mind that it is Him doing the action. Even if your mind says that you are doing it, surrender also that thought to Him! Offer everything as a sacrifice, from the depth of your heart, to Him! Like that, you will attain Him and be free. You will attain your spiritual body, and in such a state you will eternally enjoy His companionship in Vaikunta, serving Him, loving Him!
