Verse 4.31

Verse 4.31: “And, partaking of the ambrosial remainder of the Sacrifice, attain the ever enduring Brahman, (Even) this world (below) belongs not to one who does not sacrifice: whence then the next (world), O Best of the Kurus? (151)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Such knowledge then as emerges at the end of the sacrifice, is pure and unsullied as it is eternal and without beginning, and is the enjoyment of souls devoted to the Supreme Brahman, accompanied by the recital of the hymn ‘I am the Brahman’. Those that arrive at this Supreme satisfaction and are contented with the nectar in the form of the residues of the spiritual sacrifices, and become the masters of true immortality, are easily absorbed in the Supreme Brahman; while to those that never try the Yoga pathvay and have failed to devote themselves to the Fire in the form of Self-control are denied the blissful embrace of the true renunciation. No wonder then that those that cannot well-secure any good of this world are hardly expected to secure anything in the other by way of Eternal life. So let it alone, O Son of Pandu.
