When you respect and love an individual, they will respect you and love you in return. But, when you love and respect everyone, God Himself will respect and love you. You should make efforts to become recipients of God's Love. One should not pray for temporary results. Instead, one should pray for Divine Grace with pure, steady and selfless devotion. Once you have Divine Grace, you can achieve anything. If you aspire to attain God, you have to make efforts to acquire the necessary eligibility. That is the essence of true spirituality.

It is only in the depth of silence, the voice of God can be heard. - Baba
