Today, unfortunately, when this type of worship is performed, there is no genuine feeling of dedication of the organs to the Lord. When the Mantra Netra kamalam samarpayami is uttered, the real meaning is that the eyes are dedicated entirely to having visions of the Lord and nothing else. Likewise, when the devotee says, Srotra pushpam samarpayami he should realise that he is dedicating his ears solely to the Lord and will not listen to anything bad or evil. The ears should be used only for listening to stories about the Divine and spiritual teachings. This should be the feeling with which the offering is made. This was the spirit in which emperor Prithu performed Anga Puja and attained God-realisation. He demonstrated thereby the efficacy of this form of worship.
Hanuman is the supreme example of a devotee who practised service as the form of worship to realise God. His great acts in the service of Rama show how he was completely free from ego and how deep was his devotion to Rama at all times.
Arjuna exemplifies how devotion can be developed by cultivating the friendship of the Lord through complete faith and loyalty. Friendship implies also love. Arjuna’s love was totally concentrated on Krishna. He acquired all powers by the grace of Krishna. (SSS Vol.22, pp. 196-197)
