Patram pushpam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati, tad aham bhakty-upahritam ashnami prayatatmanah
If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water, I will accept it.
- •Sincerity matters more than material value
- •Love transforms simple offerings
- •Divine accepts devotion, not wealth
Saha-jam karma kaunteya sa-dosham api na tyajet, sarvarambha hi dosena dhumenagnir ivavritah
One should not abandon one's natural work, even if it has some fault, O Arjuna. Indeed, all undertakings are enveloped by some fault, as fire is by smoke.
- •Accept imperfection in your path
- •Don't abandon your dharma
- •All actions have some defects
Api chet suduracharo bhajate mam ananya-bhak, sadhur eva sa mantavyah samyag vyavasito hi sah
Even if someone commits the most abominable actions, if they worship Me with exclusive devotion, they are to be considered saintly, for they have made the proper resolve.
- •Sincere devotion transcends past sins
- •Right intention is transformative
- •God accepts all who turn to Him
