Bhagavad Gita 3.12

Karma Yoga

इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः | तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङ्क्ते स्तेन एव सः ||

iṣhṭān bhogān hi vo devā dāsyante yajña-bhāvitāḥ tair dattān apradāya ebhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ

English

The demigods, nourished by sacrifice, will give you all the desired enjoyments. But those who enjoy what is given by the demigods without offering to them in return are verily thieves.

हिन्दी

यज्ञ से पुष्ट हुए देवता तुम लोगों को इच्छित भोग देंगे, जो उनके दिए हुए (वस्तुओं) को उन्हें दिए बिना ही भोगता है, वह चोर है।
