Someone prayed for a benediction as follows, “Let my disciple, my son, my wife, and my servants be eager to serve You.” Someone else said, “Let my propensity to serve the lotus feet of my spiritual master increase.” Their asking for various benedictions was approved by their respective intelligence and reasoning.
