B1C1V1: In THE VEDAS we are being taught the knowledge of life and to understand that properly we are also taught to practice rituals. The idea behind is to practicing the rituals gradually lead us to the understanding the truth of life.
To achieve THE SUPREAM TRUTH one has to get detached from everything. To grasp this knowledge, one of the methods is to sacrifice best of one’s belongings. By doing so the concerned person is expected to attain the desired detachment from all of his earthly belongings and thus become free from all illusions and ready to conceive the absolute truth. To whom those earthly belongings would go while sacrificing? The answer is the person who is searching the absolute and has attained a mental quality where receiving some attractive earthly items do not deviate him from his firm detachment.
When the teaching is not properly understood and the rituals get more priority and the person who has to receive the sacrificed items is looked upon, the person concern start contemplating to follow the rituals of sacrifice miserly considering that to be a mere rule to follow and thus refrain himself from sacrificing the best of his belonging.
A father who has a son named NACHIKETA is doing that YAGGA of sacrificing of everything.
