God of Action

I was kind of jokingly trying to explain to Chetan and Akshay that we need to do, act - we will get a million ideas. There is this God of action, he only takes our actions that we offer him, we need to offer him the best of our actions. Every day plan on offering the choicest of your completed perfect actions to him who is most benevolent, kind and will free us. This was from Gita of course - Lord Krishna says he is the God of sacrifices - all sacrifices go to him. But the word sacrifice is a little daunting - Vishnu offered his eye to Shiva when he was one short of 100 lotuses, Kanappa cut out and offered both his eyes to Shivalinga, Shakuni's brothers gave up their share of food for Shakuni to survive and they all died except Shakuni - his unfailing dice were made from their bones, a brahmin family give up their food to a guest just when they are about to eat and die of starvation. We are up against such phenomenal sacrifices. But I think if we offer actions from our daily activity, he will accept them, if the action is done with skill, devotion, keeping in mind that it is worth offering.
