Three types of activity reach God
and earn His Grace:
(1) those not prompted by personal desire,
(2) those emanating from unselfish love and
(3) prayer arising from pure hearts.
They reach the Lord directly and
He pays heed to them. The rest are the
concern of the various deities who preside
over their disposal.
Therefore, prayers have to be unselfish,
saturated with love, and free from the
taint of attachment to the gift that the prayer would bring.
