"You need not glorify God because that may keep you at a distance from God. God is not new. He was there before your birth and He will be there eternally. Where is the need to glorify Him? You must take Him as your old friend. When you acquire friendship newly with a person, you speak to him with respectful words. When he becomes an old friend, you treat him with liberty and privilege. Consider God also as an old friend, so that you can enjoy the liberty and be free with Him.
Devotees think that they can please God by describing His glory. This is not true. You can melt His heart only with love. Plant the seeds of love and let the water of good qualities flow on the dry land so that the seeds will sprout and fed by the rain of love, grow into a tree sheltering all."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(From Bhagawan's Discourses at Kodaikanal - April 1998)
