krsna Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 PURPORT by Srila Prabhupada The performance of activities for results has to be given up. This is the instruction of Bhagavad-gita. But activities leading to advanced spiritual knowledge are not to be given up. This will be made clear in the next verse. There are many prescriptions of methods for performing sacrifice for some particular purpose in the Vedic literatures. There are certain sacrifices to perform to attain a good son or to attain elevation to the higher planets, but sacrifices prompted by desires should be stopped. However, sacrifice for the purification of one's heart or for advancement in the spiritual science should not be given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Ah, forget it. Funny how a book about ViSNujan contains nothing about ViSNujan. Nothing like misinfo to mislead kaniSThas. With hefty charges to boot. TamoguN ki jaya! Lord Siva Sankara BhagavAn ki jaya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
