True devotees do not seek anything from GOD. They just ask GOD to do as it pleases GOD because they know that GOD is the Supreme Father. Like a worldly father is always aware of the interest of his children and he is dedicated to fulfilling the interest of his children and acts in the interest of his children. Similarly, the Supreme Father is aware of the interest of His devotees more than the devotees and acts accordingly in the interest of His devotees.

In the present time, most people go to the temple to demand something from GOD. But a true devotee never seeks anything from GOD. The true devotee believes one thing due to which they do not seek anything from GOD. He believes that GOD is all-knowing and all-capable and always acts in the interest of His devotees. Therefore he does not have any need to seek anything from GOD. We seek something from someone who does not know our requirements. GOD is all-knowing and nothing is hidden from Him.

If we have to seek something from GOD we should seek GOD from GOD. True devotees do this. To seek GOD from GOD - this is a paramount stage of devotion. There were many devotees who have not sought anything from GOD in their entire life and have only sought GOD from GOD.

GOD comes in the bonding of such devotees. Generally, GOD is forever independent and He does not come in the bonding of anyone but when a devotee dedicates his entire life in the true devotion of GOD and seeks GOD from GOD, then GOD happily comes in his bonding.

We must remember two principles in life. First, do not ask for any worldly things from GOD. Undertake true devotion of GOD. GOD will fulfill all requirements of our life like a Father. Secondly, let devotion blossom and when it reaches the pinnacle seek GOD from GOD.

Just ponder that if you are capable enough and a servant who has satisfactorily served you for many years do not seek wealth from you and seek your contiguity how glad you will feel. Similarly, if we do not seek anything from GOD and only seek GOD from GOD, such devotees become dear most to GOD.

Just take up the biography of any devotee. They have undertaken devotion but have not redeemed it with any demand. They have not sought anything in lieu of devotion.

To worship GOD and to seek something in lieu is a business. If someone does this, GOD still blesses him with his requirement but this is a very small achievement. The biggest achievement is not to seek anything from GOD. If we do not have any demand it becomes GOD’s responsibility to take more care of us. GOD has reinstated this fact in His immortal phrase in Shrimad Bhagavad Geetaji that I (GOD) take the spontaneous responsibility (Yogkshem) of the welfare of My devotees. The word to be remembered here is “spontaneously”. We do not have to request or plea to GOD who ensures our welfare, He does it spontaneously.

Bhaktraj Shri Sudamaji did not seek anything from GOD but GOD gave him all that could be given. If Shri Sudamaji would have sought, he would have got what he demanded but he did not seek anything and therefore GOD gave him so much which we could not even imagine. Then the next thing is also important that Shri Sudamaji accepted it on one condition that it does not have any effect on him and he regularly keeps himself devoted to GOD. He did not seek anything from GOD in his entire life and only sought GOD from GOD and therefore he got both material wealth as well as GOD.

Not to seek anything from GOD is a beginning of devotion and seeking GOD from GOD is a paramount stage of devotion.

We must make a habit not to seek anything from GOD and mark the beginning of devotion in our life without any delay.
