Bhagavad Gita -Sri Madhvacharya

(Bhashya and Tatparya Nirnaya)

Chapter 9 Rajavidya-rajaguhya Yoga 24 – 25 – 26 – 27 - 28. I am the sole enjoyer and the Lord of all the sacrifices. They, verily, do not understand Me and My true nature and, therefore, they fail. They who worship the gods go to the gods and those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors and those who worship the elemental beings go to the elemental beings, but those who worship Me come to Me alone. A leaf, a flower, a fruit or water - whosoever with devotion offers these to Me, that offering of devotion done in right earnestness, do I accept. Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer, whatever you give, whatever austerities you practice - do these, O Arjuna, as offering to Me.. Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer, whatever you give, whatever austerities you practice - do these, O Arjuna, as offering to Me. Bhashya :- Though not in the prescribed manner, the Supreme Lord himself is the ultimate goal of worship. the devotee receives different kinds of fruits. For the weak worship is possible even by offering mere leaf to the Most Supreme of all the' Gods, but not by unrighteous means thus says Sri Krishna. Unrighteous offerings do not bring desired good results, thus in Varaha Puraana. By communion (Bai>) alone does the Lord become contented, this is the purport. “One who is in communion with the Lord is revered by all”, thus in Bharata. ”By these means alone the man is considered in this world to be beyond his self-interest. Unified communion in Govinda, which is realisation of the all-pervading Self” Whatever is offered (with devotion).
