Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji :
यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत्।
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम्।।9.27।।(#Gita)
Whatever you do,whatever you eat,whatever you offer as a sacrifice,whatever you give,whatever penance you do,offer it to Me. Some immediately question “What do I get if I offer everything to the Lord?”. Even in the worldly sense, when a citizen having a precious item in his possession offers it to the ruler of the land, he gets rewarded. Likewise, offering unto the Lord fetches us manifold benefits in the path of welfare. Our offering does not bring about any change for the Lord. It is for our own Shreyas that we offer all unto the Lord.
#Swami #Virajeswara while explaining this verse : The best & the highest form of devotion & worship are to remember the Lord while doing daily routines. While eating the thoughts should be-food is Brahma, act of eating is an offering to Brahma, digestion is carried out by Brahma. When done with this feeling this simple act becomes the highest Yajna causing release from bondage while eating with the feeling 'I am eating for my body' strengthens bondage!
