The Way to Pray



"With a mountain of desires in their heart, a devotee offers a petty coconut to the Lord!  This is not the way to pray to the Lord.  This is not Devotion.  This is not Love.  To seek a favour is not prayer at all.  Only a selfless person can engage in service to society.  Only such a person is entitled to serve God.  The first prerequisite is the spirit of sacrifice, which can be developed only through love.  A person filled with love is ready to make any sacrifice."


~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

(Divine Discourse - 9.10.1989)
