Know about PRAYER

[Guest guest]

Jai Gurudev,

Dear All,

i feel that some time or other a unfavourable situation arises in our

lives which directly/indirectly relates to us where we find

ourselves helpless over occuring of certain events which seem

beyond our control and comprehension.where you want to do many

things to alleviate

the situation but you are not able to do,then one of the solution is

PRAYER

 

There may be other situation where PRAYER is applicable, if any one

wants to attempt to address this they are welcome

anyways

these are the inspiring words i have found about PRAYER from a

realised soul

hope it helps...

 

1) The most important and unfailing means of success is the prayer.It

connects our link with God to whom we

surrender ourselves with love and devotion.

 

2) In Prayer we stand before HIM as a humble suppliant presenting to

Him our true states and completly resigning ourselves to His will.

 

3) We should always pray to the supreme Master the Omnipotent and the

Omniscient alone with a mind totally absorbed in love and submission

to him forgetting even ourselves altogether.This is a proper way of

offering prayer which in such a state seldom goes unrewarded.

 

 

4) It is a folly to pray to God for petty worldy ends except in

most exceptional cases when peace of mind is greatly disturbed for

want of bare necessities

 

5)This pointed attention upon the Real may be taken as the essence of

prayer.

 

6)The state of prayer is that of a devotee and it is strengthened by

Love.

 

7) The prayer must be offered in a way as if some most miserable man

is laying down his miseries with a deeply afflicted heart before the

Supreme Master imploring for his mercy and grace with tearful eyes.

 

8)The reason why prayer should be offered with a heart full of love

and devotion is that one should create within himself a

state of vacuity so that the flow of Divine Grace may be diverted

towards him .A poet has said, " O , thou thirsty for the

Divine intoxication! Empty thy heart for the purpose , for the head

of the bottle of wine bows down only over an empty

cup" Constant practise brings a man to a state in which he begins to

feel himself in prayer all through.

 

 

9)If you find any difficulty or entanglement , or even an unbearable

excitement of emotion, just refer that to Him through

prayer at any time or from any place , and it shall go away at once.

 

10) We must snatch a few minutes from our hours of rest(preferably at

bed-time) and pray to God with a sincere heart for

His guidance and support on the path of duty.

 

11) Do pray and try to get drowned in it to the extent that the

begging bowl alone remains in the hand while the begging

also is last in unawareness. If you create such a condition your

prayer shall never go unheeded.

 

love

Jai Gurudev
