यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत् ।
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् ॥

yat-tapasyasi kaunteya
tat-kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam – 9.27
O Kaunteya, whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever oblation you offer to fire, whatever you give as dāna or gift, whatever austerity you perform, make it all a wholesome offering to Me (the Supreme).
Chapter 9: Rājavidyā-rājaguhya-yoga – Kingly Knowledge, Kingly Secret - Verse 27
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Once the devotee understands the supreme Lord his worship also undergoes a change. Since the Supreme is omnipresent, hence impersonal, he has to think of upgrading his worship accordingly. No time, effort, place or purpose is besides the Supreme’s orbit. God being everywhere, everything belongs to Him. Where, how and on what account can the devotee keep God away or be separate from him even for a moment?
Thus, Krishna says, one should stop thinking of giving the Supreme anything special, any time and in any place. Instead, the devotee’s attention must be to make his offer wholesome, unbroken. He should make whatever he does, a direct offering to God without any distinction whatever.
Whatever you do, eat, offer into fire, gift, do as austerity, make it all a full offering to the Supreme. Remain interwoven with the Supreme all along!
