శ్రీ దత్త మానసపూజా

A worship performed entirely in the mind, by Vāsudevānanda Sarasvatī, which spends its first eight verses arguing that the worship is impossible. Where is meditation for one beyond thought, invitation for the unmoving, a seat for the one who fills the world, water for the feet of the already pure? What is bathing to the spotless, clothing to one who has no covering, perfume to the unstained, lamps to the self-luminous, food to the sustainer of the world, circumambulation of the all-pervading? Having said that nothing can be given, it gives everything: a golden throne set with jewels, sandal-and-camphor water for the feet, arghya with tulasī and bilva and śamī in a golden vessel, ochre cloth and a deerskin, a nine-stranded sacred thread, incense of lac and guggulu, a camphored lamp, six kinds of food. It closes by making a bed in the mind and asking him to sleep.
