First of all, you have to realize that Divinity is present
everywhere. Let all your actions be pleasing to God. You
have come from God and are living in God. All your
actions should therefore be dedicated to God. When you follow
such a sacred path, you will ultimately merge in God. God is
Bhavapriya (Lover of inner feelings), not Bahyapriya
(Lover of external demonstration of feelings). He sees the feeling behind your
actions. The world is interested in Bahyam (Outward
Show) but God is interested in your Bhavam (Feeling).
Hence, purify your feelings in the first instance.
