to the philosophy that describes the true nature of the soul. Yoga involves the control of the senses. Arjuna’s decision not to fight is based on sensual pleasure. Forgetting his main duty, he wanted to give up the war. Because he thought that he would be happier if he did not kill his relatives than if he conquered his kinsmen and brothers, the sons of Dhritarashtra, and enjoyed the kingdom. However, sensual pleasure is the basic principle in both these paths. Both the joy derived from conquering them and the joy derived from making them alive are based on self-indulgence at the expense of knowledge and virtue. That is why Lord Krishna wanted to explain to Arjuna that killing the body of his grandfather was not killing the soul. He explained that all individuals, including himself, are eternally individual, that all were individual in the past, are individual at present, and will continue to be individual in the future. Because we are all eternally individual souls. Even if we change our bodies in different ways, we will actually retain our individuality even after attaining liberation from the bondage of the material body. This analytical study of the soul and the body has been clearly explained by Lord Krishna. This detailed knowledge of the soul and the body from various angles is described here as Samkhya according to the Nirukti Dictionary. This Samkhya has no connection with the Samkhya of the real Kapila. The Samkhya of the deceiver Kapila was taught in the Srimad Bhagavatam by the real Kapila, an incarnation of Lord Krishna, long before. He explained it to his mother Devahuti. It is clearly explained by Him that the Purusha is the active being, and that He creates by focusing on nature. This is accepted in the Vedas and the Gita. The Vedic description indicates that the Lord, focusing on nature, placed the individual souls in it. All those individual living entities are working in the material world for sense gratification and consider themselves enjoyers under the influence of Maya. This feeling continues until the final liberation, when the living entity desires to become one with the Lord. This is Maya, the final trap of sense gratification. Only after many, many births of such sense gratification, does the great soul take refuge in Vasudeva, that is, Lord Krishna, and succeed in his search for the ultimate truth.
The sacrifice of the gods is mentioned. Various sacrifices are mentioned in the Vedas according to the different qualities of men. The worship of various gods is also mentioned on the same basis, according to the different qualities of the body. For example, the worship of the fierce goddess Kalika is advised to the meat-eaters; animals are sacrificed before that goddess. But those in the mode of truth are advised to worship the divine Lord Vishnu. But all the sacrifices are intended to gradually reach the divine state. At least the sacrifices known to the common people as the five great sacrifices are mandatory.
Man must know that all these are supplied by the gods. No one has prepared all the necessities of life for the human society, but the representatives of God have not prepared all the food grains, fruits, vegetables for the human beings who are in the mode of goodness. For example, take all the food items of humans, milk, sugar, etc., and meat for non-vegetarians. None of these are made by humans. Again, take heat, light, water, air as an example. These are also necessities of life. None of these are made by the human society. Without God, there would be no abundance of sunlight, moonlight, water, air, etc. Without them, man cannot live. That is, our life depends on what we get from God. Finally, even for the factories we run, we need metal, sulfur, mercury, manganese, and many other necessary raw materials. All these are supplied by the divine resources. Their purpose is to make good use of it to keep us fit and healthy for the sake of self-realization. This leads to the ultimate goal of life, that is, liberation from the conflict of material life. This goal of life is achieved by performing sacrifices. But if we forget the purpose of human birth and only take the meaning of sense gratification from the representatives of God and become more entangled in samsara (which is not the purpose of creation), we will become thieves. Therefore, we will be punished by the laws of nature. The society of thieves will never be happy. Because they have no goal in life. Thieves who are worldly-endowed have no ultimate goal in life. They only walk towards sense gratification. They do not have the knowledge to perform sacrifices. But Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has revealed the easiest sacrifice, the Sankirtana sacrifice. Anyone in the world who accepts the principles of Krishna consciousness
