Now place before God the desires you have for yourself: Expose him to all the great things you desire to do in his service. . . . The fact that you will never actually do them, or that you feel incapable of doing them, is irrelevant. . . . What is important is that you gladden the heart of God by showing him how immense your desires are even though your strength is very small . . . it is thus that lovers speak when they express the immensity of their desires which far outdistance their limited capacity.
— Anthony de Mello, Sadhana
