Offering all actions to the Supreme from "summary" of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The real problem is the living being's forgetting his eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord. When a man revives his original Kṛṣṇa consciousness and acts in that spirit, he is a liberated soul, one who is not bound by the actions and reactions of work. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person acts out of pure love for the Supreme Lord, without any selfish desires. He offers all his actions to the Supreme, knowing that he is simply an instrument in the hands of the Lord. This is the real secret of success in life. By acting in this way, one becomes free from all material bondage and attains the highest perfection of life. The process of offering all actions to the Supreme is not difficult. It simply requires a change in consciousness. Instead of working for one's own selfish interests, one must work for the satisfaction of the Supreme. This is the essence of devotional service. When a person acts in this way, he is freed from the reactions of his work, and he becomes eligible to return to the spiritual world, where he can enjoy eternal happiness in the association of the Supreme Lord. It is not that one has to give up his work or family responsibilities in order to offer all actions to the Supreme. Rather, one must simply change his consciousness and perform his duties as an offering to the Lord. In this way, one can remain fully engaged in his work, while at the same time advancing spiritually. This is the art of living in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the art of offering all actions to the Supreme.- For he is no longer bound by the reactions of his work. He is a perfect yogi, a person who is in full control of his mind and senses. By offering all actions to the Supreme, he attains the highest perfection of life and ultimately returns to the spiritual world, where he can enjoy eternal happiness in the association of the Supreme Lord.
