SACRIFICE OF KNOWLEDGE IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER SACRIFICES.

 

Question: Of all the sacrifices, which sacrifice is superior , O

Lord?

Bhagawan: The sacrifice of knowledge is superior to all other

sacrifices born of action; because all actions and objects without

exception come to an end in knowledge. (Gita 4:33)

 

Question: How to attain this knowledge?

Bhagawan: Attain this knowledge by prostrating yourself at the feet

of the seers of truth by rendering service to them and question them

eagerly with reverence. Those wise seers will unfold that knowledge

to you. (Gita 4:34)

 

Question: What will be the outcome of that knowledge, attained from

the seers ?

Bhagawan: After acquiring that knowledge you will no more be

subjected to delusion and by this knowledge you will see all beings

first in your own self and then in Me i.e. you will perceive the

Supreme everywhere. (Gita 4:35)

 

Question: Is there any other glory of this knowledge?

Bhagawan: Yes, even if you are the most sinful of all sinners, you

will undoubtedly cross over all sins by the raft of knowledge.

 

Question: When we cross the ocean on a raft, the ocean still remains.

Similarly, sins must be remaining after crossing them?

Bhagawan: No, Arjuna, as the blazing fire entirely reduces the wood

to ashes, so does the fire of knowledge reduce all actions to ashes.

Therefore in this world, there is no purifier like knowledge. He who

has attained perfection by Yoga of action realizes this knowledge in

the self certainly without making any effort.
