Acharya Prashant explains a verse from the Shreemad Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3, Verse 12), which states that one who enjoys the gifts of the gods without offering them back is a thief. He begins by defining 'Yagya' (sacrifice or offering) as the act of dedicating everything one possesses to a higher purpose. This includes one's strength, intellect, knowledge, wealth, and even relationships. This process of offering is described as the way to move forward in life. When one performs Yagya, 'Devatas' (gods or divine qualities) are said to arise. Acharya Prashant clarifies this from a Vedantic perspective, stating that these 'Devatas' do not manifest externally, as Vedanta does not recognize such an external reality. Instead, 'Devatva' (divinity) arises within the individual. This divinity is the superior aspect of oneself. The verse, therefore, offers a method to awaken this inner superiority by dedicating one's highest resources to the highest available purpose. This act itself is Yagya. He further explains the concept of the 'thief'. Within each person, there is a 'thief' who wants to consume everything for personal gratification. When one chooses to feed this inner thief instead of performing Yagya, they are, in essence, stealing from their own potential. Shri Krishna calls such a person a thief not because they steal from others, but because they hoard their own resources for themselves. The greatest thief is the one who consumes their own potential instead of offering it to a higher cause. The purpose of life is not personal enjoyment but 'Yagyasheelta' (the state of being dedicated to sacrifice). One should consume only what is necessary to remain capable of performing Yagya. By not offering the highest to the highest, one becomes a thief in the eyes of Shri Krishna.
