Passage 17

In English

Hence, offerings should be made only to those who are competent to receive them. All bad thoughts and feelings should be offered to God so that we may receive, by His grace, good thoughts and feelings in return. Spirituality, thus, means transforming one's life into an ideal one by offering one's bad qualities to the Lord and receiving from Him good qualities in return. In ancient times they used to perform Yaga (Horse Sacrifice). What does the "Horse Sacrifice" mean? By (horse) is meant that which is restless. The horse cannot remain steady even for a moment. It will be always shaking one part or the other of its body. The horse is an animal which represents the unsteady mind. The word in literally means the mind. Thus to perform the Horse Sacrifice really means to offer the restless mind to God.
