Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 25 & 26

 18th April 2024


  • It was stated that being human comes with the privilege of being able to sacrifice for others. Each act of sacrifice is like a brick that helps to build a strong foundation of kindness and generosity. 
  • Sacrifice must be voluntary and not just a customary practice. When we willingly give up something for our own betterment, we begin to free ourselves from the worldliness that can hold us back.
  • In Hinduism, sacrifices are traditionally offered to fire, symbolizing that what is given cannot be taken back. 
  • Some people offer sacrifices to their favorite gods as a way of expressing gratitude for what they have already received. This is a common practice in many religions.
  • Others offer their thoughts to the fire of Brahman, while some exercise self-control by restraining their senses. 
  • Some people even offer the objects of their senses to the fire of the senses, demonstrating their willingness to let go of attachment to material things.
