The sacrifice should be done with lot of analysis

[dattaswami]

The sacrifice should be done with lot of analysis

Sacrifice should be done in the memory of God

The rituals should be done with proper analysis

The essence of all the rituals is just sacrifice of wealth to a deserving devotee of God and the sacrifice should be in the memory of God. Mere sacrifice to a deserving human being without referring to God is just social service, the reward of which is temporary stay in heaven (Ksheenepunye… Gita).

 

The sacrifice is of two ways.

 

One is in the form of work or service and the other is in the form of wealth.

 

The sacrifice should be done with lot of analysis to discriminate the deserving from the rest. The sacrifice is most powerful means to please God and get His grace, if the receiver deserves. If the receiver does not deserve, the same sacrifice will yield negative results in the form of punishment. Since all the rituals involve sacrifice only as the basis, the rituals should be done with proper analysis in selecting the deserving receiver.

 

The deservingness of the receiver alone decides the fate of the entire ritual. Place, time and formalities of the ritual are not at all important in deciding the fruit of the ritual. If the receiver is undeserving, the sacrifice may be done in sacred Varanasi on sacred day of Maha Shivaratri and the process of sacrifice might have been done correctly following all the steps of the scripture, the result is going to be negative only. If the receiver deserves, whatever may be place, time and procedure of the ritual, the result will be excellent. People are bothered about the place, time and correctness in the steps of the ritual only, which are totally useless. They are not bothered about the main point, which is the deservingness of the receiver. They never analyze the receiver.
