Until one has fully developed the ability to see Me within all living beings, one must continue to worship Me by this process with the activities of his speech, mind and body.
Purport
Until one fully realizes the Supreme Lord within all beings, he should continue the process of offering obeisances to all creatures. Although one may not be able to actually fall on the ground before all creatures, at least within his mind or by his words one should offer respect to all living beings. This will accelerate the devotee’s self-realization.

Translation
Until one has fully developed the ability to see me within all living beings, one must continue to offer respects by speech, mind and body.
How long should one offer respects in this manner? As long as seeing me everywhere does not arise naturally, one should offer respects on the ground to all beings (upāsita) by the voice, saying “Paramātmane namaḥ,” as well as by the mind and actions of the body.
