Fwd: Devout Offering : Do it for Me, Give it to Me

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna.A devotee who can constantly remember the Divine in all his contacts in life, is alone the one who can give to life the respect and reverence that it deserves. It is a law in life that as you give unto life, so shall life give unto you. Smile at life and life smiles; frown at life and life frowns at you; approach life with due reverence and respect, born out of the cognition of the Divine essence in it, and life shall respect and revere you. When all activities are performed in the Spirit of Offering, not only our love for the Supreme increases bu tour entire life becomes sanctified with a noble purpose and a divine aim. O son of Kunti, all that you do, all that you eat,

all that you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you

may perform, should be done as an offering unto Me. GITA 9:27

 

Thus,

it is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a way that he will

not forget Krsna in any circumstance. Everyone has to work for

maintenance of his body and soul together, and Krsna recommends herein

that one should work for Him. Everyone has to eat something to live;

therefore he should accept the remnants of foodstuffs offered to Krsna.

Any civilized man has to perform some religious ritualistic ceremonies;

therefore Krsna recommends, "Do it for Me," and this is called arcana.

Everyone has a tendency to give something in charity; Krsna says, "Give

it to Me," and this means that all surplus money accumulated should be

utilized in furthering the Krsna consciousness movement. Nowadays

people are very much inclined to the meditational process, which is not

practical in this age, but if anyone practices meditating on Krsna

twenty-four hours by chanting the Hare Krsna mantra round his beads, he is surely the greatest yogi. as substantiated by the Sixth Chapter of Bhagavad-gita.
