3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19462

After finishing any activity, even eating and drinking, I make an offering of it to the Mother, saying, “I offer this work done by me to Thee.” But now a sense is growing in me that all works are done by the Mother’s Power of Nature through the individual nature. Accordingly, can I substitute the wording in this way, “All the work that is done by the (or my) individual nature is wholeheartedly offered to Thee”? Or what to say?

All that is done in me by Nature, I offer wholeheartedly for transformation to Thee, O Mother.
