यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत् । यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् ॥
yatkaroṣi yadaśnāsi yajjuhoṣi dadāsi yat | yattapasyasi kaunteya tatkuruṣva madarpaṇam ||
Translation
Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give, whatever austerity you practice — O son of Kunti, do that as an offering to Me.
Interpretation
The most practical and transformative instruction of the entire path of devotion: turn everything into an offering (madarpanam — an offering to Me). Whatever you do (including mundane work), whatever you eat (meals become prasad), whatever ritual you perform, whatever charity you give, whatever discipline you practice — all becomes yoga when done with the inner orientation of offering it to the Divine. This is not an additional practice on top of life — it is a transformation of the inner quality of all life. Nothing is excluded; everything becomes sacred.
