What kind of "sacrifice" is proper for today's society?

Answer 1

answering you with the help of a small story.
--------------------------
Once upon a time a young boy left his house because he was not happy with the rules and regulations setup by his father for his safety, he thought these rules are obstacle in his independence, he thought he could enjoy better if he simply leave his father's house, then he will not be bound by the fathers' rules.

Young boy left father’s house, he had no money for his maintenance, he begged outsiders for his maintenance, but outsiders exploited this boy. They took more work from him and gave him very less.

After few years young boy met his uncle, who saw his nephew in terrible condition, and immediately took young boy to his father.

Now boy was very happy, he realizes rules and regulations set up by father were actually for this own safety. He obeyed his father rules and father provided and kind of necessities to him.

moral of the story

So there many people in this society begging for many things because they don't want to go back to their real father (God)

We all are part and parcel of god
And purpose of life is to go back to godhead
But we want to enjoy without following god's rule that are meant for our safety.

The biggest sacrifice is to take all brothers and sisters to the god, to tell them we can't be happy in this material world without our real father (god)
. So it is our responsibility to take people of the society toward the teachings of the god.

Whether it is Bible, Quran , Guru Granth Sahib, Gita or any other scripture

Simply spread the message of god. This is the biggest sacrifice toward this society.


One can go back to godhead, by simply calling him with love

CHANT HARE KRISHNA AND GO BACK TO GODHEAD

Answer 2

It would be acceptable for an individual to sacrifice any of the following:
* pride (or false self-concept)
* selfishness
* greed
* ignorance
* fear/safety (ie the exercise of courage)
* immorality
* ingratitude
* time
* money

The list goes on... Giving up anything which holds us back and binds us to our baser natures is a "sacrifice proper for today's society".

Answer 3

To me, the word sacrifice means: to make sacred.

ETYMOLOGY:
Middle English, from Old French, from Latin sacrificium : sacer, sacred ;[[ see sacred + facere, to make;]] see dh- in Indo-European roots

This actually has nothing to with the slaughter or annihilation of something, but rather, it involves the exaltation of that something (i.e., 'when the son of man is lifted up') and the recognition that something is already sacred. With that in mind, sacrificing the individual(including the ego) is appropriate (and necessary) for today's society.
