"When inwardly enquired, where can the thief exist who has with attachment and desire grabbed as ‘i’ and ‘mine’ the possessions [the soul, body, world and so on] of the supreme infinite Lord?
Offering oneself with great devotion to the Lord, who shines as pure Self, is just like breaking the toe off the idol of Ganapathi made of sweet jaggery and offering it to the idol itself" (verse 484 and 486 from Guru Vachaka Kovai/ Muruganar)
.............. ps: Ganapathi is another name of Ganesha
the idol's toe
