What should I ask the Divine for?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Approach the Divine as a lover, not a beggar; in silence and surrender, you will find that existence showers you with its pearls."
According to Osho, do not approach the Divine as a beggar. Unasked, existence showers pearls; asking brings only dust. Better than any petition is silence, trust, and love. If you must ask, ask only for the Divine—acceptance, refuge, surrender—nothing else. Come as a lover, not a claimant; then heaven flowers here, and everything needed is given naturally.
Don’t ask God for stuff; either trust quietly or, if you must, ask only to be close to God and to surrender.
