Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Chapter 4 Verse 33 Shreyaan dravyamayaad yajnaat jnaana-yajnah Para.ntapa / sarva.n karmaa'khilam Paartha jnaane parisamaapyate // The sacrifice of knowledge (Jnana Yoga) is superior to sacrifices performed with material objects. All actions, O Arjuna, in their entirety, culminate in knowledge. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 41 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji “The sacrifice of knowledge (Jnana Yoga) is superior to sacrifices performed with material objects. All actions, O Arjuna, in their entirety, culminate in knowledge.” Sacrifice of knowledge is greater than other types of sacrifices. The people who perform Jnana yajnas in the form of conducting spiritual discourses or participating in them gain more merits than those who give away cows, wealth, land money and other objects to the poor and the needy. Sacrifices of material objects are noble as sacrifices, yet, as compared with the sacrifices rooted in knowledge, they pale into insignificance, as the sacrifice of knowledge directly leads to the Supreme Bliss. But before acquiring the fitness for performing Jnana yoga or the discipline of knowledge, one has to carry on the performance of sacrifices with material objects.
