The Bhagavad Gita recommends that you bring any of these – leaf, flower,
fruit or water (pathram, pushpam, phalam and thoyam) when you come to
the Lord; that when going to the presence of elders and saints, one
should not go empty handed. But the Lord does not want any of these.
When you demand a thing, you must be prepared to pay a price, equal to
its value. If you are seeking the Divine, offer something divine. Love,
Peace, Righteousness and Truth are Divine. Bring Me these or any one of
these and I shall most gladly accept the gift. Do not offer the Lord
mere flowers that fade, fruits that rot, leaves that dry or water that
evaporates.
