Chapter 3 Verses 10, 11, 12, 13.
The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on November 8, 2019.
-Yajna means 14 Vedic rituals, in the narrow sense.
-In a broader context, it means the art of harmonizing contemplation and action – selfless, sanctified action.
-Ritam is the Vedic concept of the harmonizing thread of all creation.
-Perfect health is the result of being established in this interrelatedness.
-By performing Yajna, all desires are fulfilled through perfect harmony with Ritam.
-A solid philosophy is needed behind actions. Trying to do good without a spiritual ideal may lead to an inability to continue action when we get shocked by the opposite consequence of our attempts to do good.
-Working as a form of worship is called Yajna.
-Becoming successful does not necessarily lead to inner contentment. Actions lead to their empirical result, but also an individual residual effect or spiritual vibration.
-When we act and cook only for ourselves, we sin but when we act and cook for others our actions become Yajna.
