What’s simple way to get any Type of perfection in the life?

   According to the Shrimadbhagwadgita, entire good works are known as yagya which includes agnihotra, donation, tap, hom, pilgrimage, veda study, entire physical, practical and economical activities. Entire service, study, teaching, etc are also called yagya. The work being done for providing happiness to others are the real duty which removes longingness. It also eradicates entire duty of karmyogi.

Nishkamta in yagya

There was tradition of karmakand at a time when the Gita was written. The Brahman scriptures advocate karmakand. It describes yagya and its rituals minutely. Karmakandi says that those who performs yagya with these processes get ultimate heaven. Performing yagya was based on fulfilment of desire. Shri Krishna said that entire behaviour of universe is based on nishkamta. The evidence is that yagya being performed in the name of sakamta can’t succeed without nishkamta. Ideology related to yagya of karkandi is that it’s deity who runs the entire universe. Fire, air, aaditya, etc are deities. The karmakandi offers havi to the deities by performing yagya. The deities also provide happiness, heaven, offspring, prosperity, etc to the karmakandi. Offering havi to the deities, yajman says-- ‘idam agnaye. Idanna mam’- this is for fire not for me. Similarly, ‘idanna mam’ is offered to every deity. Shrikrishnaji says that intention of ‘idam mam’ for the deities is nothing but ‘nishkarm-karm’. Getting rid of longing, ego, etc is called ‘nishkam-karm’. The yagya without intention of ‘idam mam’ can’t succeed. The karmakandi must offer karm to the deity. Therefore, Shrikrishna gave new meaning to traditional word ‘yagya’. He termed ‘nishkam karm’ as ‘yagya’.

Nishkam-karm and yagya

Those who brings ideological revolution puts new meaning in the old words. Although, common people are reluctant to lose archaic dictum, they put new meaning in the old words giving new message to the world. For example, in the present era, Shradheya Swami Jee Maharaj spread ‘yog’ and ‘sanyas’ to the common people. Shrikrishna did so. ‘Yagya’ word was used for sakam bhavna. He experimented this word for sakam-bhavna which means renunciation of self-interest, longing, desire, etc and living life for others. Shrikrishna also gave meaning of ‘yagya. The Gita said that intention of self-interest and nishkamta is laid in the seed of the universe. Apart from creating universe, the ultimate god also devised yagya, ‘sahayagyah prajah srishta purovacha prajapatih’. Highlighting intention of yagya means renunciation, he asked to run the universe in this way. The yajman is obliged to get rest of yagya in its performance. Therefore, offer entire duties in the feet of the ultimate god and accept whatever result it proves. Those who don’t offer their duties to the feet of the God, havi in the yagya created by the God and have desire of getting result are nothing but thief. The human being must consider every duty as yagya. They must accept yayga residue provided by the God. Therefore, by showing this nishkamta in the sakam yagya, Shrikrishna termed ‘nishkam-karm’ as ‘yagya’ and adjusted his ideology with ideology of that time.

Sahayagyah prajah srishta purovach prajapatih I
Anena prasavishyadhvamesh voastvishtakamadhuk II Gita 3-10 II

Giving birth to his citizens with intention of  yagya (mutual cooperation) in the beginning of creation of universe, Brahma said to his citizens- this yagya may prosper you, this yagya may fulfil your good wishes.

Devanbhavayatanena te deva bhavayantuh vah I
Parasparam bhavayantah shreyah paramavapsyatha II Gita 3-11 II

Make happy the deities by performing yagya and the deities will prosper you. Therefore, get ultimate bliss through mutual cooperation.

Ishtanbhoganhi vo deva dasyante yagyabhavitah I
Taidarttanpradayaibhyo yo bhudakte stena eva sah II Gita 3-12 II

Because the various deities will fulfil needs of your life by becoming happy. Those who enjoys this unique gift without offering it the God is certainly thief.

Yagyashishtashinah santo muchyante sarvakilbishaih I
Bhunjate te tvagham papa ye pachntyatmakaranat II Gita 3-13 II

The bhakta who consumes meal after completion of yagya gets rid of all types of sins. It means that the God’s bhakta gets rid of all types of sins and other who prepares meal for physical happiness remain grappled with sins. Therefore, providing parents, teachers, wife, husband, brother, sister, relatives, society and nation due respect and offering the residue to the God’s feet are called purnahuti- ‘sarvam vai purnam svaha’. In other words, leading life by keeping others’ rights and duties are nothing but the life filled with yagya.
