Gṛhastha-Dharma: How a Householder Attains Liberation by Offering All to Vāsudeva
देवानृषीन् नृभूतानि पितृनात्मानमन्वहम् । स्ववृत्त्यागतवित्तेन यजेत पुरुषं पृथक् ॥ १५ ॥
devān ṛṣīn nṛ-bhūtāni pitṝn ātmānam anvaham sva-vṛttyāgata-vittena yajeta puruṣaṁ pṛthak
每日应以自身正当生计所得之财,分别祭奉诸天、圣贤(ṛṣi)、世人、众生、祖先以及自我修持。如此便能礼敬那安住于一切众生心中的至上普鲁沙。
This verse teaches that a gṛhastha should daily honor demigods, sages, humans, other beings, forefathers, and also care for the self—using honestly earned wealth—thereby worshiping the Supreme Person through properly directed service.
He presents these as harmonized duties performed as offerings that culminate in worship of the Supreme Person; when done with the right consciousness and rightful earnings, they support—not replace—devotion to Bhagavān.
Earn ethically, set aside a portion for service and charity, respect teachers and saints, care for family and society, practice compassion to animals and all beings, remember ancestors with gratitude, and maintain health and discipline—seeing these as devotional offerings to God.
