If you keep asking and wishing for a thousand and one things, a few of them are bound to happen. A few of your wishes are bound to be fulfilled. And if you latch on to the idea that somehow you were responsible for the wish to come true, you have sown the seeds of misery.
Because now you will think that you have some kind of special power. That you have control over how your life is going to turn out. And then you start wishing more and bigger things. But understand that existence has no obligation to go according to your ideas. It goes on doing its thing. It has no obligation to fulfill your desires. It is just a coincidence that you were thinking about something and things turned out that way. Beware of coincidences.
If you start imagining that there is a god that is listening to your prayers then there will be no end to your wishes. You will keep on wishing and wishing and constantly be disappointed when things don’t go as per you.
The moment you understand this, you stop wishing for things and an acceptance arises. If you encounter reality without any existing ideas you will realise how beautiful and perfect things are. Everything is unfolding in the best possible way and all you have to do is enjoy it.
When you encounter reality without any expectations, everything starts surprising you.
