Your Faith In God And Fear Of Sin Is Enough To Please Me
I do not accept from you flowers that fade, fruits that rot, coins that have no value beyond the national boundary. Give Me the lotus that blooms in your Maanasasarovara - the clear pellucid water of the lake of your inner consciousness. Give Me the fruits of holiness and steady discipline. I am above all this worldly etiquette which enjoins you to see elders with some fruit and flower in your hand. My world is the world of the spirit, there, values are different. If you are happy, with faith in God and fear of sin, that is enough 'Service', enough kainkaryam for Me. It pleases Me so.
