"Giving up the attachment to the body, the scriptures call men to surrender to God. What is meant by "surrender"? Forgetting the body and thinking of God, that is surrender. Surrender does not mean offering to God your worthless body and your perishable possessions. Such offerings have no meaning for the Divine. People going to Tirumala make all kinds of promises to God if their desires are fulfilled. Does God need any of their offerings? No. Why should God be commercialised? You should seek oneness with God. God will be pleased if you realise your true self. Your happiness is His bliss."

(Divine Discourse - 28.3.1996)
