After Realization, when you offer anything to God, He accepts because it is coming from a realized soul, so He accepts. Now how do we get blessed by Him, by giving a flower to God? If you don't say anything about it, you just offer a flower, then you might be rewarded with many flowers automatically in life. Or it may be, whatever material things you offer, you may be blessed materially. Then, in a subtler way, if you say something, as you say for offering somebody in that humble way of saying, "I'll be happy if You would accept this," it will be even subtler results of that maybe and which could be much wider, maybe much deeper.
