It Is Wrong To Pray For Worldly Desires
Once there was a rich man who prayed to God constantly. One day, his friend came to his house and asked, “You have plenty of wealth and great fame. You have no dearth of money. You have not only material wealth but good health and children also. Then, what are you praying for”? “O foolish fellow,” the rich man replied, “prayer is done not for worldly wealth and prosperity. From a poor person to a rich person, each has the means and comforts which each deserves. Both the poor and the rich satisfy hunger with food only. The rich person cannot eat gold and diamonds. The poor man may eat cheap food. Food may be different, but the hunger is the same. Both eat food only. Both the rich man and the poor man are born of their mother’s womb. Both are born on earth and suffer the same hunger. We should realize the principle of unity in creation. There is one, one, one and only one. The say, there is one only, not two”.
