patram pushpam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami pryatatmanah— The Bhagawad Gita chapter 9: verse 26
Offer me a flower or fruit even a leaf will do
With love in your heart
A handful of flattened rice
Offered to me with loving devotion
Won me over
The unparalleled love with which it is offered
Is the essence
In every sense
Of the offering
Devotion and love
In whatsoever you do
Eat drink walk talk
Do so as an offering unto me
With love
As you would offer a flower unto me
With love
Thus shall you unite in Me
As Me

A very nice shloka
just a leaf, a flower
fruit or water
and I add
even empty space
as a total offering
Is just enough!
Yes indeed!!
How beautiful. The tiniest gesture in the name of love can mean everything, especially if it is offered during a difficult time.
Blessings! JJ
Dear JJ:
Yes indeed!
This shloka is not verse 15 but verse 26 of chapter 9 .. please correct it.
