So we should simply try to love God, not demand anything. Demand is already supplied. Even the cats and dogs are getting their necessities. They don't go to the church or ask anything from God, but they are getting. So why a devotee shall not get? If a cat and dog can get his necessities of life without demanding from God, why shall I demand from God that "Give me this, give me that." No. We shall simply try to love Him. That will fulfill everything. That is called highest platform of yoga.    (More...)

Sa vai pumsam paro dharmaḥ yato bhaktir adhoksaje [SB 1.2.6]: "That is first-class religion, which teaches how to love God." And that love-not for any material motive: "God, You give me this. Then I will love." No. Ahaituki. Love means without any personal profit. If I love God for some profit, that is business; that is not love. Ahaituky apratihata. And such love of God cannot be checked by any material cause. In any condition, one can learn how to love God. It is not conditional, that "I am poor man. How shall I love God? I have got so many things to do." No, it is not like that. Poor, rich or young or old, black or white, there is no impediment. If one wants to love God, he can love God.    (More...)
