360 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 11
In the worship of the sun, there is some sort of demand made by the wor-
shiper, but in the case of devotional service of the Lord, there is no ques-
tion of demand from either side. {t is all a sign of pure love and affection
between the Lord and the devotee.

The Lord is the Supreme Father of all living beings, and therefore those
who are conscious of this vital relation with God can make filial demands
from the Father, and the Father is pleased to supply the demands of such
obedient sons without bargaining. The Lord is just like the desire tree,
and from Him everyone can have everything by the causeless mercy of the
Lord. As the Supreme Father, the Lord, however, does not supply to a
pure devotee what is considered to be a barrier to the discharge of devo-
tional service. Those who are engaged in the devotional service of the
Lord can rise to the position of unalloyed devotional service by His
transcendental’ attraction.
