To the illumined man or woman, a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same. -- Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita)
My morning's blinding flash of the obvious: Any want that I take to God in prayer...that want becomes my God.
I ponder that, and I realize that any strong desire that we pray God to give us or to help us attain, that want, that goal, when it becomes our driver, our heart's desire, has become our God.
Just adding, "...if it be Thy will," is a manipulation unless and until we can change our desire to the equivalent of "It would be nice but unnecessary." That's how our will is transmuted into "I'd rather have your will done in my life than my will, no matter what either looks like to my lying eyes."
Thank you.
