If you are incapable of even this practice of mindfulness, then devote yourself to serving Me. For even by dedicating your actions to Me, you will attain perfection. Commentary “If you are incapable of practising mindfulness in the above manner, then devote yourself to such religious service such as the construction of temples, laying out temple gardens, lighting lamps therein, sweeping, sprinkling water and plastering the floor, gathering flowers, making offerings to Me, chanting My names, circumambulating temples, praising Me, prostrating to Me etc. Do these activities with fondest love. Even performing delightful works such as these, you will very soon become steadily focused on Me as through the practice of mindfulness, and will gain perfection through attaining Me.”
