Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 16 verse 17

 Chapter 16 verse 17 

“Such self-conceited and stubborn people, full of pride and arrogant in their wealth, perform ostentatious sacrifices in name only, with no regard to the rules of the scriptures.” 

Divine and demonic qualities exist in each of us. Every day we need to fight the battle for the good to win over evil within us. Bhagwan means scriptural injunction of way to perform Vedic sacrifices with devotion towards Divine and bereft of ego of the actions. I would humbly submit to extend that construct of vedic sacrifices in the current context to everyday action to be done as an offering to the Lord Almighty without any ego or conceit. The mind moves very fast like the wind and could trip up the best of us. The only way to conquer the self is through the Self says Bhagwan earlier. Great advise as always!
