Can you describe the 'internal ritual of worship' that the text claims is superior to external offerings?

📖 Chapter 26

The internal ritual of worship, as detailed in Chapter 26, is a deeply personal and emotional form of devotion that transcends physical offerings. This superior form of worship involves using one's own feelings and virtues as the offerings. For instance, the text suggests, "We shall wash Your feet with warm tears of joy; we shall apply the sandalwood paste of pure love and clothe You with true faith." It continues by describing the offering of the "eight-petaled lotus of the eight-fold sattvic emotions, very pure and whole." This metaphorical worship, which also includes applying the fragrant powder of devotion, is performed with a focused mind to please Sai and achieve the true fruit of life.
