God asks for the heart,
The full heart and nothing but the heart.
If the heart has many leaks, the sweetness will be drained away
and you cannot offer God the full heart.
Egoism, pride, thirst for fame - all these are leaks.
The seeds will sprout only when they are well within the soil,
not when they are on the surface.
If you donate something to a good cause,
hoping that your name will appear in the newspaper,
exulting when it is seen there, dejected when it is not found,
then that charity springs a leak.
Such sacrifice is superficial and selfish.
Bargaining and calculating are useless in the spiritual field.
You cannot haggle with the Lord and ask for proportionate rewards.
Ask for proportionate reward and you lose all. He has His own arithmetic.
