Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 9.26
Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water - such a devotional offering from the pure-hearted, I accept.
Gīta Bhāshya 9.26
The supreme goal of a person is - 'exclusive devotion to Govinda, which is the vision of the ātman everywhere'
The Lord's grandeur might lead some to believe that He is beyond the reach of those of limited strength; the verse 'patram', or 'leaf', dispels this notion. However, not with unauthorized items like unsanctioned leaves, since their fault has been declared in texts like the Varāha Purāṇa. The sense is: "I am indeed pleased by devotion alone".
"Beloved of the devotees; saluted by all the worlds."
- stated thus in the Mahābhārata.
"In this world, the supreme goal of a person is declared to be this alone - 'exclusive devotion to Govinda, which is the vision of the 'ātman' everywhere'."
- stated thus in the Bhāgavata.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
