Chapter-9 Rāja-vidyā Rāja--guhya Yogaḥ

yat-karoṣi yad-aśnāsi yaj-juhoṣi dadāsi yat | yat-tapasyasi kaunteya tat-kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam || 27 || 27. Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give away, whatever austerity you practice, O Kaunteya, do that as an offering to Me. Commentary Whatsoever secular work you do for the maintenance of the body, whatsoever you set aside for the sustenance of the body, whatsoever religious rites, obligatory (nityam) and occasional (naimittikam) you practice, like offering oblations into the sacred fire, performing charity and austerity — do all these as an offering to Me. Arpaṇa means offering — do all acts, secular and religious, as if the doer, the enjoyer and the worshipped were all offerings to Me.
