Every moment is an auspicious time to start prayers

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

This is a conversation made up from an idea I read in the naama maahatmyam.

 

Regards and prayers

 

Savitri

 

 

 

Disciple: Respected teacher, I am in the middle of so many problems.

What should I do? I am really pressed for time too. ( He was coughing

off and on)

 

Teacher: Please do chanting of the name of your Ishta devatha. In

Kaliyugam, naama sankeerthanam is very powerful. You do not have to

worry about rituals and time of chanting. You can chant naamam all the

time.

 

Disciple: Teacher, I do not have time. I have so many worldly duties

and I have so much to accomplish in my life. So when I finish all

those, I will start spending time for chanting. My mind is now full of

other thoughts and worries.

 

Teacher: OK, you have a really bad cough. I am sorry.

 

Disciple: I am taking medicine for the last one week.

 

Teacher: Oh, I thought you would take medicine after you get well. How

can you take medicine when you are sick? You have to wait till you get

well to take the medicine.

 

Disciple was perplexed.

 

Teacher: Do you know swimming?

 

Disciple: Yes, I know very well.

 

Teacher: Did you start going to the swimming pool after you learnt swimming?

 

Disciple: No, how can you learn swimming with out practicing for a

while? Actually I took a long time because I could not go to the pool

everyday.

 

Teacher, Oh, I thought you can learn swimming with out getting into the water.

 

Disciple: Are you making fun of me?

 

Teacher: No, Just now you said that you would start prayers after you

finish all your duties and after all your worries subside. My dear

disciple, your attitude is just like going to the swimming pool after

learning swimming and taking the medicines after you get well. You may

get drowned before you learn swimming and if you are that adamant, you

may get sick and die before you get a chance to take the bitter

medicine. NOW is the time to start prayers.

 

Teacher got up and disappeared into his prayer room.
