B.G 2.40
नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते। स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात्॥२-४०॥
nēhābhikramanāśō'sti pratyavāyō na vidyatē। svalpamapyasya dharmasya trāyatē mahatō bhayāt॥2-40॥
In this endeavour, there is neither destruction nor distortion of knowledge. The performance of this dharma even in limited measure protects from the great fear.
Gīta Tātparya 2.40
Dharma indicated is "Vishnu-dharma" or "Bhāgavata-dharma" as per Pancharātra doctrine, which is to be conscious of lord Vishnu's supremacy always and to have His constant remembrance.
"Even the mere wish to serve Lord Vishnu (Vishnu-dharma) will not be wasted. Not participating in other activities does not lead to faults, if one fulfills their responsibilities towards Lord Vishnu."
- states Agni Purāna
The 'swa-dharma', one's own duties, performed only to please lord Vishnu with no worldly intentions, good or bad, is "Vishnu-dharma".
The gods and people with Sātwik tendencies behave as per this dharma only. These duties originated in 'Kruta' age and is as per Pancharatra and Vedic doctrine. Without the intention to please Him, one should not part with even a drop of water or grain of rice.
Becoming devotees of lord Kēshava, one should always give without expectation. One should never even doubt the possibility of a principle which is equal or superior to Him.
The Devotee understands all principles are always under His control, including the hierarchy of gods and the principles governed by them.
These are the primary principles of Bhagavta dharma, and are specially meant for the 'Treta' age. These duties give special and many-fold results when followed in 'Kali' age. Practicing the same Bhagavata-dharma finally leads to liberation.
Sacrificial rituals performed pertaining to three Vedas by worshipping various gods differ from Bhagavata dharma. Even while performing these rituals have the firm understanding that lord Vishnu is superior to all in terms of auspicious qualities.
At the end of sacrifice, such a person offers results of sacrifice to lord Vishnu only (by stating Krishnarpanamastu). The person who performs sacrificial duties ordained as per three Vedas after enjoying the heaven comes back.
Such a person keeps performing duties and returning from heaven till he performs those actions knowing well all gods are under the control of lord Hari.
They do not have the correct knowledge though they perform various actions as their actions are invested with desire for heaven and are not devoid of passion and avarice.
The followers of Vedic sacrifices of the three Vedas do not get liberation fast, as they do not always remember lord Vishnu. They gradually obtain well being after multiple births if they follow all the regulations properly and offer sacrificial results at the end of the sacrifice to lord Vishnu.
Even though one performs the rituals as per three Vedas, he does not understand three Vedas if he does not know the supremacy of lord Vishnu. So say those who understand the Vedic doctrines.
The word debate indicates pro and con views. Those who recite Vedas are called "Vēdavadin" if they debate about the supremacy of lord Vishnu, or recite Vedas without understanding their true meaning. One should not become a Vēdavadin, or those who propagate false doctrines, or a nihilist.
From it they obtain terrible dark ignorance from which there is no return. It is without beginning or end, full of misery, and devoid of glee. This hell is called 'Vavra' in Vēdas, where the demons go.
-thus states Brahma Vaivarta Purāna
