Offer unto me that which is very dear to thee --which thou holdest most covetable. Infinite are the results of such an offering. -- Sri Krishna (Bhagavatam)
It was a new way of thinking for me when I realized that that which I hold most dear can be that which I obsess about having God remove, i.e., my current defect of character. And my current defect of character includes my revisiting a long-ago regret. I finally understood that that qualifies as that which I hold most dear else why would it still be with me? Why would I still be holding onto it?
The other side of the coin, that "most covetable" item, is also covered by a new way of thinking. For that which I hold most covetable is often my idea of an asset that in truth is putting my friends off...losing me friends, in fact.
I especially like "Offer unto me" for that represents willingness...willingness to visualize the simple gesture of letting go...letting go of the coin of good and bad for only then can we get to the core of the coin, oneness.
Thank You.
