When most people think of sacrifice they think of …

When most people think of sacrifice they think of deprivation and suffering. For spiritual people, however, the word sacrifice is associated with love, joy, and beauty because they know that by giving up a pleasure, by denying themselves satisfaction, they will taste greater satisfaction and pleasure on a higher plane. Sacrifice is the transformation of one type of matter into another, one energy into another. To sacrifice yourself is like being a lump of coal that is put on a fire. Before going on the fire this lump of coal is black and useless. But as soon as it makes the sacrifice of entering the fire to feed the flames, that lump of coal itself becomes fire, heat, light, and beauty. Rid yourself of this notion that sacrifice implies suffering and deprivation, because it is through sacrifice that you will escape darkness and transform yourself.
