JagannAtha dAsa explains the process of offering offering the vishaya-s related to the iMdriya-s existing in our sthUla sharIra, rather sAdhana sharIra.

 

Our kaRmEMdriya-s eyes, hands etc..are in defined postions on our sharIra, thus the iMdriyas- have their defined position in our sharIra. The respective places of residence of the iMdriya-s are the real places of residence for laxmIpati shrImAn nArAyaNa. Thus our sharIra is a temple.

 

It is therefore very important for us to clean this temple everyday by regular bath. Thus we should think that the process of taking bath is indeed the process of cleaning the temple which is refered as 'saMpraxAlaneye'.Just as we sweep, mop and decorate the temple, we must take bath, dress ourselves well, being 'sammaRjanavu'.

 

The dashEMdriya-s are borne out of the tEjasa. Offering our iMdriya-s to ParamAtma is like lighting a row of lamps.

 

gaMdha, rUpa, rasa, spaRsha, shabda should be offered as a bed for ParamAtma to rest.

 

In the same way, the enjoyment of vishaya-s experienced by the iMdriya-s must be offered as a 'suppatige' - soft bed for ParamAtma. If a bed is soft one would immediately fall asleep. Offering the enjoyment of vishaya-s with one's wife, son, relatives, house, and wealth as 'suppatige' is indeed " AtmasamaRpaNa'.

 

Among the nine types of bhakti (shravaNam, kIRtanam, smaraNam, pAda-sEvanam, aRchanam, vaMdanam, dAsyaM, sakhyaM & Atma-nivEdanam), AtmanivEdana is the highest order of offering bhakti to ParamAtma. We must think that that 'AtmanivEdana' is the clothing being offered to ParamAtma.
