Chapter 3 verse 12
“The Devas, nourished by the
sacrifice, will give you the desired objects. Indeed, he who enjoys objects
given by the devas, without offering in return to them, is verily a thief”
What is the purpose of
divine creation? Every creator wants to perfect their creation and take pride
in that. We are divine’s creation and the divine’s pride is in the attainment
of the highest ideal of this birth which is self realization. In order to
achieve that ideal, Krishna is asking us to sacrifice all action at the altar
of the divine and whatever the divine gives us in return as a result take it
with “prasada buddhi”- a feeling of gratitude and devotion. The person who due
to their ego, does not offer their actions in such a way is depriving the
divine of the perfection of their creation just like a thief deprives someone
of their belongings.
