Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007  How is sacrifice to be reconciled with man's incessant activity and his desire for comforts and conveniences? The gulf between Thyaga (sacrifice) on the one side and Bhoga (enjoyment of material comforts) on the other seems to be unbridgeable. The Vedanta (ancient indian scriptures) has resolved the conflict between the two by pointing out that material objects can be enjoyed with a sense of detachment and a spirit of renunciation. If the ego is eliminated in the performance of actions and attachment is renounced in the use of material objects, there will be no difference between Thyaga (renunciation) and Bhoga (enjoyment).
