Bhagavad Gita 9.26 — A leaf, a flower, a fruit

पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति। तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः ॥

patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ toyaṃ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati | tadahaṃ bhaktyupahṛtamaśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ ||

Meaning

Whoever offers me with love a leaf, a flower, a fruit or a little water — that loving gift from a pure heart, I accept.

In today's life

God seeks not costly gifts but a sincere heart — offer whatever small thing you have, with love.
