Our Prayers

Why should we slowly grow to a state where we don’t seek anything from God through our prayers? 

"Begging and asking something are related to worldliness and connote Pravritti Dharma (path of worldliness). True and sacred love relates to Nivritti Dharma (inward path of spirituality). When you adhere to the Pravritti of Nivritti, all tendencies of Pravritti will vanish on their own. 

Nobody knows how precious and valuable things are in God's treasury. You may be asking for glass pieces but God may want to give you precious diamonds. You may be asking for petty things when God would have resolved to give you something very precious. Therefore, leave everything to God’s Will. Only then will He give you what you really require. You do not know what you really require and what you do not require. You also do not know what is good for you and what is not good for you. He will give you on His own what is good for you, what is beneficial for you, and what is ideal for you. It all depends upon His Will when to give and what to give. 

When you offer everything to God with a steady mind and do all actions to please Him, He Himself will look after all your requirements!"

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

(Divine Discourse - 20.6.1996)

If you wish to ask for anything from God, pray to Him thus: "Oh Lord! Let me have You alone." – BABA
