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

(Ref: Bhagwad Gita chapter 15—Puroshottama yoga)

The two facets to my Eternal Nature
Are the Perishable and the imperishable
Perishable are all beings
The Imperishable that resides within
The immutable force that moves Creation

There is yet another facet to My Nature
That which transcends the perishable and the imperishable
Which envelopes both..
The Utam purusha the Ultimate, the contains the known and the unknown

The one who knows this knows All
And sees me in himself and in all that is perceived
And beyond
Thus does he unite with Me

sarvasya caham hridi sannivishtho mattah smrtir jnanam apohanam ca
vedais ca sarvair sham eva vedyo Vedanta-krd veda videva caham (Ref. Bhagawad Gita, Chapter 15, verse 15)

I am enshrined in every heart
The mind its memory, knowledge
The force that remembers and does not too!
I am the Eternal knowledge
The compiler and the knower
I am All
