JagannAtha dAsa explains the process saRvasamaRpaNe in this stanza with the example of a cow.

 

jIva-s have power of ichChA, j~nAna and kriya which is built-in svarUpa dhaRma. If these are not there then the jiva would have indeed been classified as jaDa. The jaDa-s do not have self drive like the jIva-s. chEtana-s have power of ichChA, j~nAna and kriya but the jIva cannot exercise these powers on His own. That is why the jIva is dependent, which is the characteristics of all chEtana-s. The act of initiating these powers is under the control of biMba rUpi ParamAtma. This is the parAdhIna kaRtR^itva.

 

Here 'para' refers to saRvOttama ParamAtma, who is the biMba for all chEtana-s. The kaRtR^itva shakti lies in control of that ParamAtma. The pratibiMba jIva acts according to the actions of biMba rUpi ParamAtma. Thus all the kaRma-s (puNya or pApa), emanating from the jIva are under His control. Understanding this position very well, if the jIva offers all the kaRma-s i.e. mAnasika, vAchanika and kAyaka (refer HKAS_05-16 for details on this), be they puNya kaRma-s or pApa kaRma-s - that these are going on according to the yOgyata and anAdi kaRma by the grace of biMba kriya, we must offer them to Paramatma.

 

biMba rUpi ParamAtma pervades in the eight petalled lotus flower of the heart as explained in HKAS_05-19.  This lotus flower is understood to be laxmI abhimAni thus refered here as 'lakumI nivAsanige'. All our kaRma-s must be offered to 'lakumI nivAsanige' without an iota of doubt that He is the Stimulator for all the pUnya or pApa kaRma-s. By this action, He would burn the pApa kaRma-s and would accept the puNya kaRma-s and  increase the proportion of puNya kaRma-s and bestow that phala to the jIva. Thus all the kaRma-s that we do every moment must be offered to ParamAtma.

 

mAnanidhi is He who has immense  excellence (mAna - kalyANa guNa-s, nidhi - abode)  or (mAna - worthy of respect, nidhi - kaRma dravya). This mAnanidhi accepts all the kaRma-s, increases the phala for the shubha kaRma-s and provides them worldly pleasures in this world and mOxAnaMda in the nether world.

 

JagannAtha dAsa gives an example here. We ususally give grass and water to the cow as food. These are very cheap and easily available. In return the cow gives good milk. ParamAtma is similar to the cow and the kaRma-s we offer is like the grass and water and the phala we get is like the milk we get from the cow.
