Devotion

The Searcher of Hearts wants only your sincere love. He is like a little child: someone may offer Him his whole wealth and He doesn't want it; and another cries to Him, ”O Lord, I love You!" and into that devotee's heart He comes running.

Don't seek God with any ulterior motive, but pray to Him with devotion--unconditional, one-pointed, steady devotion. When your love for Him is as great as your attachment to your mortal body, He will come to you.

--Paramahansa Yogananda, Man's Eternal Quest
