Bhagavad Gita 7.22

स तया श्रद्धया युक्तस्तस्याराधनमीहते। लभते च ततः कामान्मयैव विहितान् हि तान्॥

sa tayā śhraddhayā yuktas tasyārādhanam īhate labhate cha tataḥ kāmān mayaiva vihitān hi tān

Translation

He endowed with that faith, seeketh the worship of such a one, and from him he obtaineth his desires, I verily decreeing the benefits;

What it means

Endowed with that faith, one worships that form and obtains desires from it, benefits actually decreed by Me alone. Even the results of smaller worship trace back to the one giver. No devotion is lost in the accounting.

All answered prayer routes through the one source, whatever address was used.

Something to reflect on

Which answered prayer changed me less than the asking did?
