Dear Murthy Ji,

Following is my understanding. On your question Lord Krishna has

said in Bhagawat-Gita there are four kinds of devotees - One who

prays only for material things coz of his convistion in worldy life,

second one who is inquisitive i.e tries to know God and that it is

good to do that but yet is enjoying material life!, third type is

one who is totally into trying to realise God thinking that it is

only thing worth trying for in a Human Birth..but he is not God-

realised yet, finally fourth is who has realised God while living

and thus 'loves' Him. Keeping aside the fourth stage I think the

first three can be classified as you said as neophyte, a mediocre,

and advanced. Lord has said that he grants whatever any of these

devotees want. And I think the catch word is " want " . We can be

granted anything provided the " call " is full. Once that is there

then it is said - " Mukam karoti vachalam pangum langhayate Girim "

(Mute can speak eloquently and Lame can jump a mountain). Be it a

neophyte or mediocre or advanced. There are moments in life of any

person - say when listening to some beautiful bhajan which takes him

to a higher level of devotion for sometime or may be some painfull

experience makes his state prayerfull with a whole heart. Because as

said by Thakur there is one thing that God cannot overlook and that

is a call that is full. Now once His Grace has descended to wash our

karmas - again it can be percieved differently by the devotee

depending on his stage. A child wants his wound cured and the doctor

cleans it with antiseptic solution which is so painfull. But this is

all for the cure of wound for the child. The child may however hate

doctor for doing this but Doctor will not mind his hatred and keep

doing till his job is finished. As Thakur says " once admitted in

hospital the doctor would not leave untill the disease is cured " .

Many times we may think our prayer is full yet with no results or

opposite results! but how can we foolish comprehend his ways!!

Unless we have a faith on Him - that He has listened to our every

prayer and whatever He bestows - success or failure - it is all out

of His Compassion, His Love for us - His Children - a bad child a

mediocre child or a good child - His nature is to Love and he is

doing that in ways incomprehensible to us - His children!! This is

my personal understanding of the concept. I am waiting to read and

understand other Guru bhais' opinions!

Pranams,

Sriram.
