It would seem that the attitude of the worshipper is what is more important. Is not Krishna's teaching in the Gita that selfless action dedicated to Him causes no karma? With this in mind, I would conclude that someone who worships with selfless love, not looking for any personal benefit (i.e., a paramaikAntin) is bereft of any fault if there is a lapse in performance. However small the offering, if given with selfless love, is incomprehensibly dear to Him. What then if an imperfect being unintentionally slips up here or there?
