Nowadays selfishness is rampant among devotees, and they love God not for God's sake but only to get their selfish desires fulfilled. As long as selfishness prevails, the Divine cannot be understood. The Navaratrifestival should be used as an occasion to examine one's own nature whether it is human, animalistic or demonic, and strive to transform the animal nature to the human and then divinise the human. DuringNavaratri prayers, you recite "Netram Samarpayami”, stating I offer my eyes to the Lord. Does it mean you must offer your eyes? No! The real significance of the Mantra is that you think of the Divine in whatever you see or do. The true meaning of the prayers to offer your limbs to the Lord(Angaarpana Puja) are to declare that you offer yourself in the service of the Lord at all times. Hence from today, every work you do, do it as an offering to God only.
