Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 13 · Veda Vyasa (words of Sri Krishna) · Ancient (Mahabharata / Bhagavad Gita)
In the third chapter of the Gita, on the path of selfless action, Sri Krishna explains the cycle of yajna by which the world is sustained. In this verse He declares that the good, who eat only what remains after offering to the Divine, are released from all sins, while those who cook for themselves alone consume sin. From this teaching arises the cherished Hindu custom of offering every meal to God as naivedya and partaking of it as prasada, so that eating itself becomes a sacrifice and a means of purification.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
It is said that one who never eats without first offering the food, taking only the sanctified remnants as prasada, is gradually freed from the bondage of all sin — for such a person no longer eats merely for the body, but partakes of the grace of the Lord with every morsel.
