FORKLARING: Selv om alle ofre er rensende, må man ikke forvente noget resultat til gengæld for at gøre dem. Man skal med andre ord opgive alle ofre, hvis formål er materielt fremskridt i livet, men ofringer, der renser ens eksistens og ophøjer én til det åndelige plan, må ikke stoppes. Hvad som helst, der fører til Kṛṣṇa-bevidsthed, skal opmuntres. Der står også i Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, at man bør acceptere enhver aktivitet, der fører til hengiven tjeneste til Herren. Det er det højeste kriterium for religion. Herrens hengivne bør acceptere enhver form for handling, offer eller velgørenhed, der hjælper ham i udførelsen af hans hengivne tjeneste til Herren.

Although all sacrifices are purifying, one should not expect any result by such performances. In other words, all sacrifices which are meant for material advancement in life should be given up, but sacrifices that purify one’s existence and elevate one to the spiritual plane should not be stopped. Everything that leads to Kṛṣṇa consciousness must be encouraged. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also it is said that any activity which leads to devotional service to the Lord should be accepted. That is the highest criterion of religion. A devotee of the Lord should accept any kind of work, sacrifice or charity which will help him in the discharge of devotional service to the Lord.
