Chapter 4 Lesson 8

My note:
It has been explained earlier that ‘sacrifice’ implies a ‘prayer’, an action, which could mean ‘an offering’ It has also been explained that if you would like to become a doctor, your ‘sacrifice’ or ‘action’ would be ‘your relevant study to become a doctor’.
In that context Krishna explains that ‘sacrifice’ can imply:
1) Seeing Brahma (God everywhere and in everyone)
2) Sacrifice of senses into the fire of self discipline.
3) Functions of the senses into the fire of yoga in the shape of self control, kindled by wisdom.
4) Sacrifice of material possessions, austerities, practice of Yoga, study of sacred texts, and practice of breath control.
Krishna states: “To the man who does not offer sacrifice, even this world is not happy; how then can the other world be happy?
