Bhagavad Gita 1.42
सङ्करो नरकायैव कुलघ्नानां कुलस्य च। पतन्ति पितरो ह्येषां लुप्तपिण्डोदकक्रियाः॥
saṅkaro narakāyaiva kula-ghnānāṁ kulasya cha patanti pitaro hy eṣhāṁ lupta-piṇḍodaka-kriyāḥ
Translation
This confusion draggeth to hell the slayers of the family, and the family; for their ancestors fall, deprived of rice-balls and libations.
What it means
He foresees the ancestors falling, deprived of offerings. The argument now leans on ritual consequences no one on the field can verify. When the heart has decided, the mind recruits ever more distant authorities.
Try this today
He extends the consequences to the spiritual realm as his tradition understood it - ancestors losing their rites.
Something to reflect on
How far from evidence does my mind go when my heart has already decided?
