Contemporary human incarnation Vs family

 

A devotee prepared a cup of sweet to offer to the alive human form of God. Another devotee also prepared a cup of sweet for himself and his family. The second devotee did not have either the idea of contemporary human incarnation or was unable to recognize the contemporary human incarnation. In any case, the cup of the sweet remains protected in the fridge.

 

After sometime, the second devotee was able to accept the idea of living human form of God and was able to recognize it. The second devotee need not feel for the time lost. Even now, he can offer the cup of sweet to the alive human form of God and he becomes equal to the first devotee, who prepared the same sweet for the contemporary human form of God.

 

The fruit of the work is another form of the work. Sacrifice of the fruit becomes equal to sacrifice of the work because even in the latter case, finally the fruit is only sacrificed. Therefore, the Gita stressed on the sacrifice of the fruit of the work (Karma Phala Tyaga) as the essence of the entire effort (Sadhana). It is the remedial measure for the people, who did not work for God in their lives due to lack of recognition.

 

Nothing is lost if they can sacrifice the fruit of their past work since the fruit is another form of the work only. The misinterpretation here created by greedy, selfish, intellectual devotees is that if the attachment of the fruit is sacrificed; it becomes equal to sacrifice of the fruit. So, you have sacrificed your attachment to the cup of sweet prepared by you and you say that such sacrifice is the same sacrifice of the cup of the sweet. As long as the cup of the sweet is in your fridge, your attachment to it is not at all sacrificed. The proof for the sacrifice of your attachment to the cup of sweet is only your sacrifice of the cup of the sweet from the fridge. As long as the cup of the sweet is not eaten by the alive human form of God, the sacrifice is totally false.
