If one offers Me with love and devotion a flower, fruit, a leaf or even water, I accept it.

Whatever you do or eat, whatever you offer or give away, whatever austerities you perform - do as an offering unto Me.

From the highest sphere in the material world, down to the lowest,

and they derive great satisfaction, joy, enlightening one another and speaking about Me.

I am the origin and dissolution of all things.
There is nothing beyond me, Arjuna.

Bewildered spirit souls, under the influence of the three modes of material nature* think themselves as doers of activity,

After innumerable births and deaths, those who are wise surrender unto Me.
Knowing Me to be the cause of all causes, and all that exists.
Such souls are very rare.
