Will the Lord gratify all that we ask for, in our prayers?
If the Bhakta dedicated his all, body, mind and existence, to the Lord, He will Himself look after everything for He will always be with Him. Under such conditions, there is no need for prayer. But, have you so dedicated yourself and surrendered everything to the Lord? When losses occur, or calamities come, or plans go awry, the Bhakta blames the Lord. Some, on the other hand, pray to Him to save them. Avoiding both these as well as the reliance on others, if complete faith is placed on the Lord at all times, why should He deny you His Grace? Men do not rely fully unswervingly on the Lord; therefore, though you have to be the agent and instrument doing everything, keep on praying with devotion and faith.(Prashanti Vahini, pg 16)
