The Gita – Chapter 3 – Shloka 12
Shloka 12
Through the spirit of sacrifice of Yagya, the Deities grow and progress. As they grow, they will provide you with all the pleasures you desire. You should offer part of these pleasures to the Deities.
If one is granted pleasures by another person, the one who receives the pleasures should share some of those pleasures with the provider of those pleasures, or else he is as bad as a thief.
यज्ञ के द्वारा बढाये हुए देवता तुम लोगों को बिना मांगे ही इच्छित भोग निश्चय ही देते रहेंगे । इस प्रकार उन देवताओं के द्वारा दिये हुए भोगों को जो पुरुष उनको बिना दिये स्वयं भोगता है, वह चोर ही है ।। १२ ।।
