Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Each day, give something back: to learning, to those who came before, to other people, and to animals, as much as you can afford. All of them are worthy of reverence.
हर दिन कुछ लौटाओ: विद्या को, पूर्वजों को, दूसरे लोगों को और पशु-पक्षियों को, जितना सामर्थ्य हो। ये सब आदर के योग्य हैं।
Krishna tells Uddhava the householder's daily offerings to gods, sages, ancestors and all beings, seen as his own forms (the five daily sacrifices).
