Some offer the senses such as hearing into the fires of restraint; others offer the sense objects such as sound into the fires of the senses. Sacrifice takes the form of both sense restraint and sense engagement offered with awareness.

  • Sense restraint is itself a form of sacred offering
  • Conscious engagement with the senses can also be sacrificial
  • Yajna encompasses both ascetic and engaged forms of practice
