In a poem Tagore writes : beggars go along the roads and pick up rice grains that have fallen out of broken bags. That is their supper. The poem also narrates an incident :

“I was begging along the road, and there I saw a King was coming in this chariot. What a lucky day! He stopped his chariot right opposite me, and I was waiting to receive something from him.

The King said, “My child, what have you got to give me?” Here is a King, and he is asking a beggar, what have I got to give him? And I stand, and he says: “My child give me what you have got.” I put my hand in the bag and took out one grain of rice, and gave it to the King. And he drove on. And I thought: “What a sad day for me. I gave the King a grain of rice, he gave me nothing.” When I got home, I tipped my bag out to wash the rice. And there in the pile of rice, was one grain of pure gold. “Oh, if only I had given you my all!”

“If only I had given you my all!” Can we give our all from within – give our hearts to the Divine?

This is our problem – nothing is total in our spiritual path. We keep the totalities for things that “I want”. Give of yourself at each present moment to the Divine Presence. Do every action for Him – for that Holy Spirit within, and life will flower into something superb.
