These days my prayer to God is as follows:
Dear God, you are a good guy and always want to do good to the world.
I may not be an entirely good guy now but like you, I, too, want to do good to the world.
If I am unenlightened I can do only very little good to the world.
If I am a fully enlightened being, I can do the most good to the world and also lighten your burden by taking on some of your responsibilities that I can handle as a fully enlightened being.
So, why don’t you snap your finger and turn me instantaneously into a fully enlightened being right now in this very instant before the seconds hand moves?
Know Thyself
