TRANSLATION All these
performers who know the meaning of sacrifice become cleansed of sinful
reaction, and, having tasted the nectar of the remnants of such sacrifice,
they go to the supreme eternal atmosphere.
PURPORT From the foregoing
explanation of different types of sacrifice (namely sacrifice of one's
possessions, study of the Vedas or philosophical doctrines, and
performance of the yoga system), it is found that the common aim
of all is to control the senses. Sense gratification is the root cause
of material existence; therefore, unless and until one is situated on a
platform apart from sense gratification, there is no chance of being elevated
to the eternal platform of full knowledge, full bliss and full life. This
platform is in the eternal atmosphere, or Brahman atmosphere. All the above-mentioned
sacrifices help one to become cleansed of the sinful reactions of material
existence. By this advancement in life, one not only becomes happy and
opulent in this life, but also, at the end, he enters into the eternal
kingdom of God, either merging into the impersonal Brahman or associating
with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna.
