He is very easy to please as he is happy with a leaf , a flower or any food. He loves to sing and dance, finds all philosophy boring, has all powers and is an embodiment of sacchitananda. Most importantly Ganesha is the embodiment of completion. he completes all ideas of 'impossible and all incompletions everywhere. He is also a god of love and joy. Ganesha's love is like the love the lion has for her cubs when she takes them for hunting. He comes down to raise you to his level, this love needs a little sacrifice. Whose love you receive you become so don't receive love from a person who will not make you a lion. The love of the Master is the love of the Lion, he is here to make us all lions.
