Sacrafice is essential if we want to succeed in our spiritual endeavors. If we want to be truly free, it is important to surrender all that we are to God.There are two ways to approach God described in the the ancient teachings of India: impersonal and personal. The personal approach, with a human representation of the Infinite, is a way to make the divine connection real, such as with Radha and Lord Krishna.
