The root cause of a person's suffering is their pride. Even if someone makes a sacrifice, they can still get caught up in their own pride. What is the point of such a sacrifice? It is pride, or ego, that should be sacrificed. That is where true happiness and bliss are found.

Same theme, different voices
The one controller of the many inactive ones, who makes the single seed manifold — the wise who behold him dwelling within themselves, to them belongs eternal happiness, and to no others.
एको वशी निष्क्रियाणां बहूना- मेकं बीजं बहुधा यः करोति । तमात्मस्थं येऽनुपश्यन्ति धीरा- स्तेषां सुखं शाश्वतं नेतरेषाम् ॥ १२॥
True happiness requires more than just knowledge; it demands love. The love of God can only fill a person's heart after it has been purified of worldly desires, and this purification can only be achieved through self-discipline and detachment.
