Tad viddhi pranipatena
Pariprasnena sevaya
Upadeksyanti te jnanam
Jnaninas tattva -darsinah

Sreyan dravya-mayad yajnaj
jnana-yajnah parantapa
sarvam karmakhilam partha
jnane parisamapyate

(Bhagavad Gita, Text 33, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Meaning: O chastiser of the enemy, the sacrifice performed in knowledge is better than the mere sacrifice of material possessions. After all, O son of Prtha, all sacrifices of work culminate in transcendental knowledge.

*** The purpose of all sacrifices is to arrive at the status of complete knowledge, then to gain release from material miseries, and ultimately, to engage in loving transcendental service to the Supreme Lord.







Bhagavad Gita: Different types of sacrifice born different types of work.Knowing them as such, you will become liberated (Bhagavad Gita, Text 32, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge

Evam bahu-vidha yajna
vitata brahmano mukhe
karma-jan viddhi tan sarvan
evam jnatva vimoksyase

(Bhagavad Gita, Text 32, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Meaning: All these different types of sacrifice are approved by the Vedas, and all of them are born of different types of work. Knowing them as such, you will become liberated.

***

Different types of sacrifice mentioned in the Vedas suit different types of worker. Because men are so deeply absorbed in the bodily concept, these sacrifices are so arranged that one can work either with the body, with the mind, or with the intelligence. But all of them are recommended for ultimately bringing about liberation from the body.This is confirmed by the Lord herewith from his own mouth.

Bhagavad Gita: Divine consciousness is solution to all the problems of material existence(Bhagavad Gita, Text 31, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

nayam loko’sty ayajnasya
kuto’nyah kuru-sattama

(Bhagavad Gita, Text 31, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Meaning: O best of the Kuru dynasty, without sacrifice one can never live happily on this planet or in this life: what then of the next?

***Existence in the material world is due to the multiple reactions to our sinful lives.Ignorance is the cause of sinful life, and sinful life is the cause of one’s dragging on in material existence.The human form of life is the only loophole by which one may get out of this entanglement.Highest kind of happiness that a man can achieve is to be promoted to the spiritual planets by practice of divine consciousness. A life of divine consciousness is therefore the solution to all the problems of material existence.

Bhagavad Gita: Advance toward the Supreme eternal atmosphere (Bhagavad Gita, Text 30, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Sarve’ py ete yajna-vido
yajna-ksapita-kalmasah
yajna-sistamrta-bhujo
yanti brahma sanatanam

 (Bhagavad Gita, Text 30, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)


Meaning: All these performers who know the meaning of sacrifice become cleansed of sinful reactions, and having tasted the nectar of the results of sacrifices, they advance toward the supreme eternal atmosphere.

***From the foregoing explanation of different types of sacrifice ( namely sacrifice of one’s possessions, study of the Vedas or philosophical doctrines, and performance of the yoga system), it is found that the common aim of all is to control the senses. Sense gratification is the root cause of material existence; therefore, unless and until one is situated on a platform apart from sense gratification, there is no chance of being elevated to the eternal platform of full knowledge, full bliss and full life. This platform is in the eternal atmosphere, or Brahman atmosphere. All the above-mentioned sacrifices help one to become cleansed of the sinful reactions of material existence. By this advancement in life, not only does one become happy and opulent in this life, but also, at the end, he enters into the eternal kingdom of God, either merging into the impersonal Brahman or associating  with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

apane juhvati pranam
prane panam tathapare
pranapana-gati ruddhva
pranayama-parayanah
apare niyataharah
pranan pranesu juhvati

(Bhagavad Gita, Text 29, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Meaning: Still others, who are inclined to the process of breath restraint to remain in trance, practice by offering the movement of the outgoing breath into the incoming, and the incoming breath into the outgoing, and thus at last remain in trance, stopping all breathing. Others, curtailing the eating process, offer the outgoing breath into itself as a sacrifice.

Bhagavad Gita: Divine consciousness is transcendental (Bhagavad Gita, Text 28, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Dravya-yajnas tapo-yajna
yoga-yajnas tathapare
svadhyaya-jnana-yajnas ca
yatayah samsita-vratah

(Bhagavad Gita, Text 28, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Meaning: Having accepted strict vows, some become enlightened by sacrificing their possessions, and others by performing severe austerities, by practising the yoga of eightfold mysticism, or by studying the Vedas to advance in transcendental knowledge.


*** All yogis are faithfully engaged in different types of sacrifice (sacrificing their possessions, performing severe austerities, studying the Vedas) and are seeking a higher status of life. Divine consciousness, however, is different from these because it is the direct service of the Supreme Lord. Divine Consciousness cannot be attained by any one of the above-mentioned types of sacrifice but can be attained only by the mercy of the Lord and His bona fide devotees.Therefore, divine consciousness is transcendental.

sarvanindriya-karmani
prana-karmani capare
atma-samyama-yogagnau
juhvati jnana-dipite

 (Bhagavad Gita, Text 27, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)

Meaning:  Others, who are interested in achieving self-realization through control of the mind and senses, offer the functions of all the senses, and of the life breath, as oblations(a thing presented or offered to God) into the fire of the controlled mind.

Srotradinindriyany anye
samyamagnisu juhvati
sabdadin visayan anya
indriyagnisu juhvati

(Bhagavad Gita, Text 26, Ch 4, Transcendental Knowledge)


Meaning: Some [the unadulterated brahmacaris] sacrifice the hearing process and the senses in the fire of mental control, and others [the regulated householders] sacrifice the objects of the senses in the fire of the senses.

***The members of the four divisions of human life, namely the brahmacari, the grhastha, the vanaprastha and the sannyasi, are all meant to become perfect yogis or transcendentalists.Since human life is not meant for our enjoying sense gratification like the animals, the four orders of human life are so arranged that one may become perfect in spiritual life.
