Om Sri Sai Ram Sathya Sai Babas Thought for the day Even in the most painful, difficult, trying and testing situation what should we pray to God for? Bhagavan lovingly explains to us today. By praying to God and asking for trivial and petty things, people demean the Lord’s Divine estate. No one appreciates the valuable, sacred and divine favour God may choose to confer on a deserving devotee. Hence never seek from God, nor desire, nor pray for some petty trifles. More precious and desirable than everything else is Gods love. If you wish to ask for anything from God pray to Him thus, O Lord! Let me have You alone. To crave for anything other than Divine Love is like asking for coffee powder from the Kalpataru (Wish-fulfilling Tree)! For, once you have secured the Lord, you will naturally get everything you want! While praying to God for His grace, do not indulge in extravagant praise and flattery to win His approbation and seek His favours; that prayer then acquires a commercial tinge! Pray sincerely and earnestly from within. - Divine Discourse, Oct 9, 1989. Sathya Sai Baba Prayer must come from the depths of feeling; the Lord looks for sincerity of feeling (bhava), not outward pomp (bahya). - Baba
