Chapter 3 verse 10
“The creator, having in the beginning
of creation created mankind together with attitude of self sacrifice, said, “By
this shall you prosper; let this be the milch cow of your desires-kamdhuk (the
cow which yields all desired objects)”
Yajna is the attitude of
self sacrifice of all actions for the greater good. The Universe originated
with conditions such as the nature’s elements such as sun, wind, water etc., working
selflessly for benefit of beings. The essential nature of human beings were
also to act selflessly. Krishna has an interesting choice of slimily here to
compare desire less action as the source of boundless bliss given by the desire
fulfilling kamadhenu- the cow which assisted sage vashista to take care of all
his needs.
