Offering! Complete in consistency
Creates atmosphere the Godly...
Offering clears the air and within
The blocks, the whims, the sensing...
The blocks, the whims, the sensing...
Offering gives power to right-wing
Drops all clogged, clung falsely...
Offering instills calm sublimely
Bring focus to dutiful deeds...
Offering keeps attributes contributing
Unveils the Real, hidden there beneath...
Thank you...

“You have often told us that our activities must be an offering to the Divine. What does it mean exactly, and how to do it? For instance, when one plays tennis or basketball, how does one do that as an offering? Mental formations are not enough, naturally!
It means that what you do should not be done with a personal, egoistic aim, for success, for glory, for gain, for material profit or out of vanity, but as a service and an offering, in order to become more conscious of the divine will and to give oneself more entirely to it, until one has made enough progress to know and feel that it is the Divine who acts in you, His force that animates you and His will that supports you – not only a mental knowledge, but the sincerity of a state of consciousness and the power of a living experience.
For that to be possible, all egoistic motives and all egoistic reactions must disappear.”
TM 20 November 1961

Yoga means union with the Divine, and the union is effected through offering — it is founded on the offering of yourself to the Divine. . . . You must feel at every step that you belong to the Divine; you must have the constant experience that, in whatever you think or do, it is always the Divine Consciousness that is acting through you. You have no longer anything that you can call your own; you feel everything as coming from the Divine, and you have to offer it back to its source. When you can realise that, then even the smallest thing to which you do not usually pay much attention or care, ceases to be trivial and insignificant; it becomes full of meaning and it opens up a vast horizon beyond.

Significance: Offering
The only offering that truly enriches is the one that is made to the Divine.
Obscurity Offers Itself to be Transformed
Obscurity tired of being obscure.
