Another devotee asked a common question: How can we love

God or surrender to Him, without seeing Him? Latu Maharaj

answered :

 

Don't you send your application for a job to the manager

of a company without ever having seen him? Your interview

with the manager depends upon sending your application

to him. You write the application thus : " Sir, please

appoint me for the job; I shall be extremely happy to

serve you; I promise my unswerving obedience to you, "

and so on. And you write all this without having seen

the manager, don't you?

 

Similarly you can send an application to the Lord.

However, this application is not to be written on

paper, but on the pages one's mind: " O Lord, may

I never forget Your name. I take refuge in you.

Please assign me to Your service and destroy my ego

and doubts. You are my master, guru, father, mother,

and all in all. I am your child. Make me your ins-

trument. Do not delude me with Your bewitching

maya. O my sweet Lord, I have not seen You; I have

only heard Your name. Please make me Your own. "

You will have to pray like this daily. Only then

will He choose to bestow His grace on you.
