Bhagavad Gita 17.13
विधिहीनमसृष्टान्नं मन्त्रहीनमदक्षिणम्।श्रद्धाविरहितं यज्ञं तामसं परिचक्षते॥
vidhi-hīnam asṛiṣhṭānnaṁ mantra-hīnam adakṣhiṇam śhraddhā-virahitaṁ yajñaṁ tāmasaṁ parichakṣhate
Translation
The sacrifice contrary to the ordinances, without distributing food, devoid of words of power and without gifts, empty of faith, is said to be of darkness.
What it means
Sacrifice contrary to rule, without food distributed, without mantras, without gifts, without faith, is declared tamasic. Form and spirit both missing. A rite emptied of generosity and belief is only noise.
Try this today
Tamasic ritual: hollow form, no heart, no sharing.
Something to reflect on
Where do I keep a form and empty it of heart and generosity?
