CHAPTER 4 Elucidation of The Deed of Yagya यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्रा सनातनम्। नायं लोकोऽस्त्ययज्ञस्य कुतोऽन्य: कुरुसत्तम ॥31॥ [ “O the best of Kuru, the yogi who have tasted the nectar flowing from yagya attain to the eternal supreme God, but how can the next life of men bereft of yagya be happy when even their life in this world is miserable?” ] What yagya generates-what results from it, is nectar the substance of immortality. A direct experience of this is wisdom. The one who feeds on it becomes one with the eternal God. So yagya is something which with its completion unites the worshipper with God. According to Krishn, how can the next world bring happiness to men bereft of yagya when even the mortal, human birth is beyond their reach? It is their inevitable lot to be born in lower forms and nothing better than them. So the observance of yagya is a necessity.
