How to pray to God so that only good people will be strengthened?

[Ms. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: By praying to God, "Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu" which means 'Let the whole world be happy', am I strengthening the terrorists, rapists and all sinners who are also part of the world? How to pray in such a way that only good people should be strengthened?]

Swami replied:- If you pray that all should be happy, it is a big hypocrisy because by saying this lie, you want to please the public and also God so that both will have good impression on you. It is a lie since it is impossible because good souls have to be happy and bad souls have to suffer. Even if you say that the word ‘all’ means all good people, then also it is hypocrisy only because all good people will be happy due to their merits and there is no need to wish in that case. Will you wish that the Sun shall be hot and Moon shall be cool? If you want to avoid all these criticisms, better you wish in the following way:- Let me propagate the true spiritual knowledge by which all the bad people will be converted in to good people so that all the people (already good people and the converted bad people) will become happy due to their merits. In this wish you are expected to do God’s work and your such wish becomes inspiration for you to enter into divine work.
