Let me tell you frankly, I do not like this Lakshmi Puja, which people do, expecting to grow rich and accumulate wealth. They even speak of Dhanalakshmi and have special Stotrams to propitiate Her. Lakshmi or wealth accrues by fair means as well as foul; money is earned by gambling, by various forms of deceit, by highway robbery itself, by high and low, by all and sundry. Worship Lakshya. I shall appreciate you! Keep the Lakshya, the Goal of expanding your Love till it embraces all beings, till it sees every being as your own self-keep it ever steady before your mind’s eye; then, Lakshmi will on her own accord favour you to the extent necessary for realising the Goal. Never doubt that. Never falter. (SSS Vol.3, pp. 31-32)
