Even for being blessed by the Lord's Grace, one must have peace and wait patiently. Serenity alone succeeds in bringing about the result of the spiritual practices. Add this lesson to the practices you are engaged in. The true devotee will always dwell in God. He/she has no time to know or feel their welfare or worries. Attaining the Lord is the one and only idea in their mind. It is hard to understand this nature... Let me explain with an example. A small child runs about shouting "amma, amma" searching for his/her missing mother. The mother takes it up in her arms and places it on her lap. The child stops crying and is free from all fear. But can the child calculate and find out the difference between its previous state and its present relief? No! Nor is it necessary to do so! So too, if you seek to ever serve the Lord, immerse yourself in service and be engaged in thoughts of God.
-Divine Discourse, Prasanthi Vahini.
