Do whatever you like or whatever may be easier for you to do, eat whatever you may eat, sacrifice whatever you can sacrifice, give whatever you may give in charity, and do whatever you may undertake in penance, but everything must be done for Him only. If you do business or if you accept some employment, do so on behalf of the Lord. Whatever you may eat, you may offer the same to the Lord and be assured that He will return the food after eating it Himself. He is the complete whole, and therefore whatever He may eat as offered by the devotee is accepted because of the devotee's love, but again it is returned as  prasādam  for the devotee so that he can be happy by eating. In other words, be a servant of God and live peacefully in that consciousness, ultimately returning home, back to Godhead.
It is said,  yasya smṛtyā ca nāmoktyā tapo-yajña-kriyādiṣu nūnam sam-pūrṇatāmeti sadyo vandetam acyutam . I offer my obeisances unto Him, the infallible, because simply by either remembering Him or vibrating His holy name one can attain the perfection of all penances, sacrifices or fruitive activities, and this process can be universally followed. It is enjoined,  akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā mokṣa-kāma udarādhiḥ tibreṇa bhakti-yogena yajeta puruṣam param : "A person, though he may be full of desires or may have no desires, may follow this path of infallible  bhakti-yoga  for complete perfection." One need not be anxious to propitiate each and every demigod and goddess because the root of all of them is the Personality of Godhead. As by pouring water on the root of the tree all the branches and leaves are served and enlivened, so by rendering service unto the Supreme Lord every god and goddess becomes automatically served without extraneous effort. The Lord is all-pervading, and therefore service unto Him is also all-pervading. This fact is corroborated in the  Skanda Purāṇa  as follows: " arcite deva-deveśe śaṅkha-cakra-gadādhare. arcitaḥ sarva-devaḥ syur yataḥ sarva-gato hariḥ. " When the Supreme Lord, the Personality of Godhead, who carries in His hands a conchshell, wheel, club, and lotus flower, is worshiped, certainly all other demigods are worshiped automatically because Hari the Personality of Godhead is all-pervading. Therefore, in all cases, namely nominative, objective, causative, dative, ablative, possessive and supportive, everyone is benefitted by such transcendentally loving service of the Lord. The man who worships the Lord, the Lord Himself who is worshiped, the cause for which the Lord is worshiped, the source of supply, the place where such worship is done, etc.—everything is benefitted by such an action.
Even during the annihilation of the material world, the process of  bhakti-yoga  can be applied.  Kālena naṣṭā pralaye vāṇīyam : the Lord is worshiped in devastation because He protects the  Vedas  from being
