Narration
Translated
What is the Lord’s advice to all those praying and yearning sincerely? How should we lead our daily lives? Bhagawan explains to us today. The man who is filled with pure love has great peace of mind, is pure at heart and is unruffled by any adverse circumstances, failures or losses. This fortitude is derived from the love of the Lord, which endows him with self-confidence. Self-confidence generates immense internal power. Everyone must develop this power. Everyone should develop self-confidence so that the Atma-Ananda (bliss of the Self) may be experienced. Love should be free from feelings of expectation of any return or reward. Love which arises out of a desire for something in return is not true love. Utterly selfless and motiveless love should be developed. This is the bounden duty of man. You should not pray to God seeking this favour or that because no one knows what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie in the treasure-house of Divine Grace. No one will know what God intends or desires to give to a devotee. In such a situation by asking for trivial and petty things, man is demeaning his Divine estate! Â

Pray to God with a pure heart, with a mind bereft of desires.
