DON'T EXPECT AN ANSWER

Meher Baba

 
All the time pray to Me — it is good to pray. But the prayer that reaches Me is not a long list of your wants. That will never reach Me. Just My Name — even if it be just My Name it will reach Me.

But then man's heart is such that when it pours out — it pours out with many words, those words help you to glorify Me. And even if there is a long, long list of all the glories that you attribute to Me, that will reach Me.

But when you crave for something, want something, and you ask Me as your prayer — that prayer does not reach Me. But if you ask Me and don't expect an answer, then that prayer reaches Me.
