Commentary (टीका)
This verse transforms the entirety of daily life into worship. Not just meditation and prayer, but eating, working, giving, and even practicing discipline — everything becomes sacred when offered to God. This is the essence of living spirituality — not a separate compartment of life, but the sanctification of every moment and every action through the attitude of offering.
