Prabhupada, Montreal, August 18, 1968 — […] Caitanya Mahaprabhu is also teaching us how to pray feelingly, without any personal interest. Everyone is praying to God with some personal interest: “Give me some money. Give me some relief. Give me a nice house, a nice wife, nice food.”
That is good, but not as good as if you pray to God as Caitanya Mahaprabhu does: “I don’t want any money. I don’t want any number of followers. I don’t want a beautiful wife.” Then what does He want? “I want to serve You, That’s all.” This is the best prayer. “My Lord, You are so good, You are so great; all I want is to be engaged in Your service, birth after birth.
I have been serving rascals, but they have not become satisfied and I have not become satisfied. Now I have come to You. Please engage me in Your service.” This is the last word in prayer.
Thank you very much.
