In the Gita, the Lord says that He is happy to receive even a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, as an offering from the devotee. Yes that is true, but that does not mean we must take the Lord’s observation in a literal sense. What the Lord is saying is that in terms of worldly objects, we do not have to offer expensive items to the Lord; rather, what He wants from us is a feeling of Pure Love for Him, along with the physical entity that is being offered.
when man offers flowers to God he is merely offering to God what God has created. May be the man grew the flowers or bought them in a shop; even so, from God the flowers came and to God they are offered back the flowers that God would really like to be offered are:
* Ahimsa, the flower of Non-violence,
* Indriya Nigraha, the flower of Sense Control,
* Kshama, the flower of Patience and Forbearance,
* Sarva Bhoota Daya, the flower of Compassion to all beings,
* Shanti, the flower of Peace,
* Tapas, the flower of Penance,
* Dhyana, the flower of Contemplation of the Lord,
* Sathya, the flower of Truth.
To this, we might add Krithangyatha or the flower of gratitude to God as the ninth flower. It would be very humbling to take just a minute off every day to recall how many things we have to be grateful to God for. If we did that exercise every single day, we would march ahead so swiftly on the Spiritual Path.
