The action performed as devotional service not only preserves the person concerned from the reactions of karma, it gradually raises him to the service of spiritual love offered to the Lord, which is the key to accessing the kingdom of god.

Let us know that any act accomplished apart from the sacrifice binds its author to matter and retains him prisoner of this material world. If we do not act for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord, Krishna, then we will be chained to the consequences of our actions. We must not act for our own pleasure, but for that of God.

This is what is meant by sacrifice.

Verily, all divine beings, heavenly beings, are satisfied when a sacrifice is made. In the present age of discord, strife, hypocrisy and sin, the original scriptures indicate that intelligent men, in order to maintain peace and prosperity in society must make the only suitable sacrifice. singing the hymn of the Holy Names of the Lord;

Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare

Hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare

We can therefore satisfy all heavenly beings by performing this sacrifice which consists in inviting people to sing “Hare Krishna”, then to distribute a sacred meal. Peace and prosperity will then reign throughout the world.

In the present age, the execution of sacrifices has been simplified since by chanting “Hare Krishna”, one can satisfy Lord Krishna, and at the same time fulfill all heavenly beings. This is the real sacrifice.

Without Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the living being, the embodied spiritual soul is nothing and can do nothing.

In truth, without God, the embodied soul can neither see, nor hear, nor act without the active principle, God. The Eternal Supreme resides in the heart of all dense matter bodies, human, animal, and plant, and keeps all these inert, active matter bodies.

This is why all these moving and still bodies are temples of God. No one should destroy one of these bodies, one of these temples, for it is to reach the individual spiritual soul (which each of us is) and the Supreme Soul also called the Holy Spirit, God.

The Lord is the Master of all living beings, for no one can achieve his ends without God allowing it. He alone confers the fruits of deeds. Also, unless we are empowered by its energy, our senses cannot act. In other words, He alone sees, He alone acts, He alone hears. He is the only active principle and the Supreme Master.
