The Dawn of Truth

यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत्।
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम्॥

[Yat-karoṣi Yad-aśnāsi Yaj-juhoṣi Dadāsi Yat
Yat-tapasyasi Kaunteya Tat-kuruṣva Mad-arpaṇam]

(Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer , whatever you give away
Whatever austerities you perform, Oh son of Kunti, do that as an offering to Me.)

- Lord Kṛṣṇa to Arjuna in Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter IX, Verse 27

And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s,
And unto God the things which be God’s.

- St. Luke 20:25

I would like to start this blog of my spiritual thoughts and opinions by dedicating it to the Almighty Lord, without whose will a leaf cannot move, nor would I be in existence, nor this blog.

Working with dedication, devotion, honesty and integrity in itself is dedication of your work to God, as long as you don't allow yourself to get distracted by material desires or greed.
