Surrender: Life as Worship to Lord Shiva

O Shiva, You are my soul, Goddess Parvati is my intellect, my companions are my life energies, and this body is Your temple. All the experiences I undergo are Your divine enjoyments. My sleep is deep meditation, my movement is circumambulation (pradakshina), all my words are praises (stotras) to You. Whatever actions I perform, O Shambhu, I consider them all as Your worship. By living with this mindset, the devotee experiences every moment as a continuous act of devotion, where mundane activities are transformed into sacred rituals. This verse teaches that true worship isn't confined to rituals alone but extends to all actions performed with a sense of divine presence.
