Sacrifice to the Truth (tyaag)

If there is anything that helps us to truly make progress spiritually, it is sacrifice. Sacrifice helps to create the space within us, to receive. Only when we let go of the sand in our hand, can God fill it with the diamonds that He has in store for us. Sacrifice can be of one's mind, body or wealth.

The above picture is a vision by one of our seekers as to what actually happens when we sacrifice for God. It shows that we are uplifted and protected.

Sacrifice of the mind, for example, occurs when we have the option to either watch our favourite movie or help with setting up a satsang, and we choose the latter. Here we sacrifice something that the mind enjoys, for God. Chanting continuously is also a sacrifice of the mind.

An example of sacrifice of the body would be, sleeping an hour less in order to do God's work, such as completing an article for the website or performing some other spiritual service.
