It should be realized, however, that there is no greater friend for anyone than 
God. He is beyond the reach of praise or censure. He does not give up man on 
the ground of the latter’s failure to come up to His expectations. That is why 
God has been given the appellation, Suhrid (a good friend). God desires no 
offerings from any devotee. God is the only one friend who confers benefits on 
devotees without expecting any return. Nevertheless, man does not readily 
accept such a friend. Only the man who accepts God as such a friend and is 
guided by His advice can understand the full meaning of Divine friendship. 
Faith of this nature alone constitutes true Jnana (sacred knowledge).
