Leaf etc., are offerings brought by such a person.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019=The Lord of all; He to Whom all the Universe\u2019s coming into existence, its marvellous show and its disappearance are like sport; He Whose will is unalterable; He Who is all-satisfied; He, Whose glorious attributes are illimitable and transcendent;<\/span><\/p>\n Though I, as such, am naturally in the enjoyment of supreme felicity, yet do I enjoy the offering brought Me (in the manner aforesaid), as if I came (anew) in possession of a treat so rare as to be beyond the most distant expectations of a desiring heart. It is thus declared in the Moksha-Dharma:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Whatsoever acts are consecrated to the Deva (God) with single-pointed devotion, the Deva Himself, forsooth, accepts them all on His head.\u2019[1. 1.
