अध्याय ३ शलोक १२

The Gita – Chapter 3 – Shloka 12

Shloka 12

 यज्ञ के द्वारा बढाये हुए देवता तुम लोगों को बिना मांगे ही इच्छित भोग निश्चय ही देते रहेंगे । इस प्रकार उन देवताओं के द्वारा दिये हुए भोगों को जो पुरुष उनको बिना दिये स्वयं भोगता है, वह चोर ही है  ।। १२ ।।

Through the spirit of sacrifice of Yagya, the Deities grow and progress. As they grow, they will provide you with all the pleasures you desire. You should offer part of these pleasures to the Deities.

If one is granted pleasures by another person, the one who receives the pleasures should share some of those pleasures with the provider of those pleasures, or else he is as bad as a thief.
