Sacrifice
The Vedas (Holy scriptures) urges us to sacrifice everything, and
through sacrifice we would be able to have vision of the Divine within. The
creation and its maintenance depend only on sacrifice. If there is no
sacrifice, there will be no life, and the society will not remain intact.
Even from a worldly perspective, if we do not give out the breath that
we take in, we cannot live. If blood is not constantly flowing from one place
to another every instant, we cannot live. Unless the clouds give up the water
they have gathered, they cannot remain as clouds. That is why it is said, what
you cannot get by your knowledge and effort can be got by sacrifice. If we
think that something is good and welcome it, some bad too may come in the
process. That which gives you happiness when it comes will also cause sorrow
when it goes away from you. Whether it is the good or the bad, we have to
sacrifice continuously.
