Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 31

Krishna said

यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम्।नायं लोकोऽस्त्ययज्ञस्य कुतो़ऽन्यः कुरुसत्तम ॥4.31॥

yajñaśiṣṭāmṛtabhujo yānti brahma sanātanamnāyaṃ loko'styayajñasya kuto़'nyaḥ kurusattama

Meaning

Those who eat what remains after sacrifice, as if it were nectar, reach the eternal Brahman. Even this world is not for one who offers nothing, so how could any other world be?

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो यज्ञ के बाद बचे हुए को अमृत मानकर ग्रहण करते हैं, वे सनातन ब्रह्म को प्राप्त होते हैं। जो कोई यज्ञ नहीं करता, उसके लिए यह संसार भी सुखद नहीं, तो परलोक कैसे होगा?

Practise it today

Before you take something for yourself today, give first: serve others at the table, or finish a task for someone before your own.

Reflect tonight

Where did you give first today, and did what you received afterwards feel different?
