Text 14] Brahma’s Prayers for Creative Energy 351
whatever one may do in one’s daily activities, such as worship, sacrifice,
and offer charity, all the results should be offered to Him only. This
offering of the result of pious acts unto the Supreme Lord is a sign of
devotional service to the Lord and is of permanent value, whereas enjoying
the same results for oneself is only temporary. Anything done on account
of the Lord is a permanent asset and accumulates in the form of unseen
piety for gradual promotion to the unalloyed devotional service of the
Lord. These undetected pious activities will one day result in full-fledged
devotional service by the grace of the Supreme Lord. Therefore, any
pious act done on account of the Supreme Lord is also recommended
here for those who are not pure devotees.

TRANSLATION

Let me offer my obeisances unto the Supreme Transcendence who is
eternally distinguished by His internal potency. His indistinguishable
impersonal feature is realized by intelligence for self-realization. I offer
my obeisances unto Him who, by His pastimes, enjoys the creation,
maintenance and dissolution of the cosmic manifestation.
