The
Bhagavad Gita recommends that you bring any of these –
leaf, flower, fruit or water (pathram,
pushpam, phalam and thoyam) when you
come to the Lord; that when going to the presence of elders
and saints, one should not go empty handed. But the Lord
does not want any of these. When you demand a thing, you
must be prepared to pay a price, equal to its value. If you
are seeking the Divine, offer something divine. Love,
Peace, Righteousness and Truth are Divine. Bring Me these
or any one of these and I shall most gladly accept the gift.
Do not offer the Lord mere flowers that fade, fruits that
rot, leaves that dry or water that evaporates.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
