The works of Ramaṇa Maharṣi

Upadeśa Sāram

Verse 5

जगत ईशधी युक्तसेवनम् ।अष्टमूर्तिभृ द्देवपूजनम् ॥

जगतः ईशधी युक्तसेवनम् अष्टमूर्तिभृत् देवपूजनम्

In plain words

Look after the world — all of it, whatever is in front of you. And while you do it, hold this: it is Him. That is not a lesser kind of worship performed on a substitute. He is the eight things everything is made of. There is nothing else to worship.

Word for word

Service of the world, joined with the thought that it is the Lord, is worship of the God who bears the eight forms.
