Krishna is not hungry, but Krishna wants to make you a Devotee

With devotion, if a person offers Me a little leaf, a little fruit, a little water, I accept it.

The Journey of Self-Discovery 2.1: […] Krishna does not want your property. Krishna is open to the poorest man for being worshiped. What is He asking? He says, patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati: “With devotion, if a person offers Me a little leaf, a little fruit, a little water, I accept it.” [Bhagavad-gita 9.26] Krishna is not hungry, but Krishna wants to make you a devotee. That is the main point. Yo me bhaktya prayacchati: “Offer something to Me—with devotion.” That is the main principle. Offer Krishna some little thing. Krishna is not hungry; Krishna is providing food for everyone. But Krishna wants your love, your devotion. Therefore He is begging a little water or fruit or a flower. In this way, man-mana bhava mad-bhakta: you can think of Krishna and become His devotee.
