"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it."
- Bhagavad-gita Ch. 9 Text 26
I'm pretty simple in my approach to spiritual life.
I enjoy reading Krishna books but you'll hardly ever catch me remembering verses from scripture, let alone quoting them! But this simple verse is one I have remembered since childhood for the simple fact it is everything to me.
The thing about spiritual life that I find most wonderful is it has nothing to do with the material value of something that I can give, it is all about the love in which I give it.
Whatever I have is enough if I can offer it with care to sweet Krishna.
My voice doesn't have to be beautiful to sing the names of Krishna, and still His names sound so sweet.
The food I make doesn't always look the most appetizing, but we do our best and try to offer it with love and He accepts it.
And we can love Krishna, it costs us nothing. and it gives us everything.
