Man should not seek from God, nor desire, nor pray for some petty trifles. More precious and desirable than anything else is God's love. If you wish to ask for anything from God, pray to Him thus - "Oh Lord! Let me have You alone." Once you have secured the Lord, you can get anything you want. That was why Mira sang: "I have obtained the wealth of the gem of Divine Love." When you can have divine love, to crave anything else is like asking for coffee powder from the Kalpataru (Wish-fulfilling Tree)! What you have to seek from God is God Himself and not any small and worthless benefits! Even while praying to God for His grace, you should not indulge in extravagant praise and flattery to win His approbation and seek His favours. Such praise for securing favours has a commercial tinge. Even the favours received through such praise are not proper at all. It is because the rishis and the yogis in the past resorted to such praise that they had to perform penance for hundreds of years to get a vision of the Lord.
