promoted therefore I pray for that, he is my son or he is my grandson doesn’t matter much who he is or even for ourselves. I have undertaken this business, I would like to have profit of this, so I pray, pray to God. So dependency can be confused with a barter. Majority of our stotras, what our religion has given us are only prayers seeking some relief or the other from the Divine saying that we are dependent upon you. “O God you have got to grant me”. As against it, you would have noted already, our prayer says, “we are yet but slaves of wishes putting bar to our advancement; thou art the only God and power to bring us up to that stage”.

We are not asking for some petty things because those things are due to our own. The fifth commandment ‘Be Truthful. Take miseries as Divine blessings for your own good and be thankful to God’. You read this commandment, the interpretation given by SriRamchandraji Maharaj, you will then understand your true nature is to be dependent upon the Divine and then whatever He gives you, you accept it and whatever He gives is according to our own actions. It is not an arbitrary God who gives us ‘you take this, you are my man I give you more, he is not my man therefore I am going to deprive him’. God is not like that, God is justice; there is no partiality in the kingdom of God. No person is going to be
