“What is the biblical definition(s) of sacrifice?” (Quora)

Dr. Michael LaitmanMichael Laitman, On Quora: What is the biblical definition(s) of sacrifice?

Sacrifice is an inner state experienced by everyone undergoing spiritual development.

What do we sacrifice?

We sacrifice our egoism, i.e. our desire to enjoy for self-benefit alone, or in other words, we sacrifice our nature on the inanimate, vegetative and animate levels, which wishes to experience self-aimed pleasure, success and an easy life.

Such desires are egoism’s innate nature. If we wish to limit our egoistic approach to life and reach another state where we wish to not use our egoism but, on the contrary, to distance ourselves from it, then such an inner action is called “sacrifice.”

Based on KabTV’s “Spiritual States” with Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman and Michael Sanilevich on January 8, 2023. Written/edited by students of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman.
