91. Afterwards offer “naivedya” 47, then do “arati” with the lamp and the incense. In this way, doing all the services with love, is called “archana” (worship). 92. Begin the worship by making your heart and intelligence pure and

sinless, having an unsullied disposition and invoke the power of the deity within yourself. 93. Then recall that divine feeling after the ‘archana’ is concluded, and in your heart restore the former state48 and establish it firmly within you. 94. Now there are other modes of devotion. In the opinion of Gargacharya49, when the mind is completely absorbed singing the praises of God, it becomes one with him (a mode of worship). 95. Continuously being aware of

one’s Real Self, relating religious tales and songs, having disciplined behavior, is another form of “Bhakti” as described by Shandilya50. 96. Those who know what is good for themselves, follow the Vedas and act as prescribed by them; avoid prohibited and improper conduct and all things which are obstacles for one’s own good. 97. I am not the doer of any action nor the enjoyer of its fruits? When I feel this, this is an action which is devoid of ego and is the surrender to the Supreme Being for union with it. 98. Perform all your actions in this way. Then, naturally a stage is reached when you become a non-doer. Though it is not possible ever to disown ‘Karma’, yet it is possible to disown the fruit of the ‘Karma’. 99. Remove a thorn with the help of a thorn. To become a non-doer, you have to act according to the ‘Karmas’. When realisation takes place, then only the ‘Karma’ will end. 100. Completely stopping the desire for the fruits of action is the best way for foregoing the desires. Perform your daily routines and specially prescribed duties. This is called the law of conduct.
