306 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 2, Ch. 6

in the form of family, society, community, country or the entire human
society. But perfection of such sacrifices is attained when they are
performed for the sake of the Supreme Person, the Lord. Because the Lord
is the proprietor of everything, because the Lord is the friend of all living
creatures, and because He is the maintainer of the performer of sacrifice,
as well as the supplier of the ingredients of sacrifices, it is He only and
no one else who should be satisfied by all sacrifices.

The whole world is engaged in sacrificing energy for advancement of
learning, social upliftment, economic development and plans for total
improvement of the human condition, but no one is interested in sacrificing
for the sake of the Lord, as it is advised in the Bhagavad-gita. Therefore,
there is no peace in the world. If men at all want peace in the world, they
must practice sacrifice in the interest of the supreme proprietor and friend
of all.
