All the scriptures of the world glorify sacrifice. What is
sacrifice?
It is giving up something that you value. You can only sacrifice
that which you would like to keep for yourself; in other words,
that which gives you pleasure and joy. You cannot sacrifice
something that you dislike or disown. Sacrifice is always related
to a higher cause for a greater good. At the same time, when your
love for the greater good is so strong, nothing else assumes any
value. Sacrifice here becomes irrelevant, because love alone is
your strongest driving force. So when there is so much love there
cannot be sacrifice. At the same time when there is no love, there
is no sacrifice.
For example, if a mother has made plans to see a movie and she
realizes that her child is sick, she does not say that she has
sacrificed the movie to nurse her child, because she simply did not
want to go. Nothing else seems to charm the mother besides being
with her child.
You do not sacrifice something for someone you are in love with.
Sacrifice indicates that your pleasure has more value than the
cause for which you are sacrificing. When the love is lukewarm,
then sacrifice assumes meaning. Yet sacrifice purifies the human
mind and reins in selfish tendencies. It can also bring pride,
arrogance, self-pity and sometimes even depression.
You can sacrifice only that which you value. For a wise man nothing
is more valuable than truth, values and the Divine, and he will
never sacrifice those.
God is the greatest, and if he values the
greatest then how can he sacrifice God? This is the paradox of
sacrifice.
