What is most essential if we wish that God hears our call?
"While we live in the normal world taking things as they come, we must take great care of spiritual aspects as well. We cannot forget them. Whatever work you may undertake, if you have your attention on Divinity, then God will take care of you. One example: A mother puts her baby to sleep. After the baby is asleep, she goes to the first floor and attends to her work. All the while, her attention will be on the baby, and her thoughts are always about when the baby will get up. Even if she is engaged in urgent and pressing work, her attention will be on the baby and as soon as she hears the cry of baby, she will come running. She will not stop to consider what tune and beat the baby is crying in.
Just as a mother runs from her work as soon as she hears the baby cry, so also, if man cries to the Lord from the depths of his heart, even if the Lord is busy, He will come and help the devotee. God does not ask what path the devotee is adopting or what bhajans are being sung by him, etc. He will only look at the sincerity with which the devotee has cried out."

(Ch. 7, Summer Showers 1976)
When you look at others with love, God will also look at you with love. – BABA
