Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 In the very beginning itself (second Adhyaya) Gita says that the fruit of the work must be sacrificed (Karmajam Buddhi Yuktahi Phalam Tyaktva Maneeshinah). This means that realized scholars sacrifice the fruit of the work. Gita keeps sacrifice of the fruit of the work on the top most level (Dhyanath Karma Phala Tyagah). The path of sacrifice of work (Karma Sanyasa) is mentioned by both Vedas (Kurvanneveha) and Gita (Kuru Karmaiva). The scriptures also say that your sacrifice of money is highest. 1) Gita says ‘Jnanat dhyanam visishyate, Dhyanat Karma Phala Tyagah’ i.e., Bhakti (devotion) is better than Jnana (knowledge) and sacrificing the fruit of your work (money) is better than Bakthi. 2) Gita says ‘Sarva karma Phala tyagam’, ‘prahuh tyagam vichakshanah’ i.e., if you can give the fruit of the entire work to the Lord, then that is real sacrifice. 3) ‘Na karmana, Na prajaya, Dhanena, tyage naike Amritatvam Aanasuh’ i.e., you cannot attain God by selfish work or the children. You can attain God only by sacrificing your money for God’s work. 4) The first words of the first Upanishath (Easavaasyam) says, ‘Tena tyaktena Bhunjeedah’ ‘Ma gradha ha kasyasvit Dhanam’ i.e., this entire world is the money of the Lord. Take whatever you require from His wealth; don’t take extra which is not permitted by the God. If you have taken, you are a thief. Return it back to the Lord. 5) Veda says ‘Samvidha’ ‘Shraddhayaa’ ‘Hriya’ ‘Bhiya dheyam’, i.e., return the extra to the Lord in human form after recognizing Him through His Jnana. Wait patiently till you recognize the Lord in human form. When you are donating your money to Him (actually you are giving Him His own money) you should give it with fear and feel shy. 6) In Yoga Vasistha the Guru Vasista says to Rama (Dhanamarjaya) i.e., bring money and offer it to me as Guru Dakshina before I can teach you the Jnana. Shirdi Sai used to ask Guru Dakshina from everybody to teach this important sacrifice. He criticized a merchant who came for Brahma Jnana but was not giving even Rs.5/- from his pocket. Mr. Patil, a farmer used to donate the entire yearly crop to Baba and took back whatever Baba gave back to him. at the lotus of shri datta swami surya www.universal-spirituality.org Baba ji <beirut_ka_baba wrote: Will you please tell me which verse of Gita tells that donating money is Karma Phala Tyaga and donating work is called "Karma Sanyasa " ?? love baba Brings words and photos together (easily) with PhotoMail - it's free and works with Mail.
