The Lord says here that any sacrifice which is meant for human welfare should never be given up. #i#Vivāha-yajña#/i#, the marriage ceremony, is meant to regulate the human mind to become peaceful for spiritual advancement. For most men, this #i#vivāha-yajña#/i# should be encouraged even by persons in the renounced order of life. #i#Sannyasīs#/i# should never associate with women, but that does not mean that one who is in the lower stages of life, a young man, should not accept a wife in the marriage ceremony. All prescribed sacrifices are meant for achieving the Supreme Lord. Therefore, in the lower stages, they should not be given up. Similarly, charity is for the purification of the heart. If charity is given to suitable persons, as described previously, it leads one to advanced spiritual life. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_5"#TEXT 5#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#यज्ञदानतपःकर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत् ।#/dd# #dd#यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम् ॥५॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#yajña-dāna-tapaḥ-karma#/dd# #dd#na tyājyaṁ kāryam eva tat#/dd# #dd#yajño dānaṁ tapaś caiva#/dd# #dd#pāvanāni manīṣiṇām#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yajña&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yajña#/i# — of sacrifice; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dāna&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dāna#/i# — charity; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tapaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tapaḥ#/i# — and penance; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=karma&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#karma#/i# — activity; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=na&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#na#/i# — never; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tyājyam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tyājyam#/i# — to be given up; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=kāryam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#kāryam#/i# — must be done; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=eva&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#eva#/i# — certainly; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tat&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tat#/i# — that; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yajñaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yajñaḥ#/i# — sacrifice; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dānam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dānam#/i# — charity; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tapaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tapaḥ#/i# — penance; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ca&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ca#/i# — also; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=eva&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#eva#/i# — certainly; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=pāvanāni&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#pāvanāni#/i# — purifying; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=manīṣiṇām&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#manīṣiṇām#/i# — even for the great souls. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# #p#Acts of sacrifice, charity and penance are not to be given up; they must be performed.
