You

must realize that Bhajans (devotional singing), Namasmarana (chanting

God's name) and Pooja (ritualistic worship) are not for pleasing or

propitiating God, but for our own spiritual progress. Frequently people

flatter the rich and the powerful - especially when they are in their

employment or are beholden to them for some precious help - in order to

induce them to shower gifts on them. But God does not shower grace on

people because they sing His praises. Nor does He come down upon them

because they do not deify Him. Contemplating on the Divine attributes

enables us to dwell on elevating ideals and brings us nearer to the

Divinity that is our nature.
