“Action does indeed bind the self [through cause and effect, karma] except when done as sacrifice; so work one must consecrated, offered to Deity high above. When beings came from Creator He ordained all to sacrifice; By sacrifice are worlds sustained And by it everyone does live. […] Things exist through all other things, all things are knit with all others, so that the being of a thing is contribution by others. Independent no one exists as all are also all others, thus existence of anything is sacrifice by other things.” —Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 3
