Therefore, the all-pervading Absolute is eternally situated in acts of sacrifice. In verses fifteen and sixteen Krishna says that it is sacrifice that makes the world go 'round. While we often hear that love keeps the world turning on its axis, we do not stop to think that love arises out of sacrifice. Without such introspection one often mistakes selfishness for love, the result of which is that one goes around only in confusion as to what the working of the world is really all about. When food is eaten and transformed into blood and blood into semen, the possibility of the birth of the bodies of living beings occurs.
Food is dependent on rain.
All of this is understandable to modern society. The idea that rain is produced through sacrifice is not apparent. Otherwise, it is common knowledge that sacrifice rains prosperity on its performer. It should be clear that sacrifice arises from enjoined action, and this action being enjoined in the scripture originates therein. It has no human origin and it is eternally situated in acts of sacrifice.
