There was once a rich man who had four wives. Each expressed what they wished him to get during a trip abroad.
The first wife, who was spiritually enlightened prayed for his safe return.
The second wife wanted him to bring some sacred books.
The third wife, who was ailing, wanted him to get some medicines.
The fourth wife, who was a 'modern' asked him to get her sarees and jewelry.
The merchant on his return, gave the three wives what they wanted and stayed with the first wife because she had no other desire except to have him back.
God responds to the prayers of his devotees in the same manner. To those who aspire for wealth, He gives wealth. Those who seek knowledge, he will help them acquire it. Those who are ailing and pray to God will get the relief they pray for. Those who pray for oneness with Him, will realise Him. This is the way God responds to the four kinds of devotees.
The devotees should consider God alone as important and not other mundane desires. If you have God with you, all other things are got easily. So God is your real wealth, your real health.
