"I do not accept from you flowers that fade, fruits that rot, coins that have no value beyond the national boundary. Give Me the lotus that blooms in your Manasa Sarovar - the clear pellucid waters of the lake of your inner consciousness; give Me the fruits of holiness and steady discipline. I am above all this worldly etiquette, which enjoins you to see elders with some fruit or flower in your hand. My world is the world of the spirit; there, values are different. If you are happy, with faith in God and fear of sin, that is enough service, enough Kainkaryam (offering) for Me."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 27.3.1965)
