Passage 42

In English

What do you have to offer to on this day of ? Today people spend a lot of money in offering various fruits and preparations to God. All these offerings are made only as a ritual. Ultimately, people themselves consume them! No benefit accrues from making these offerings. - these are the four things that you should offer to God. Here patram (leaf) means body. This body may wither away at any moment. So, never develop attachment towards the body; instead offer it to God. Pushpam (flower) means (heart), the flower that will never fade. Mind can be compared to phalam (fruit), and toyam stands for tears of joy.
