MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES AND SUPER SAINT - SADGURU SAI NATH

[Guest guest]

Prayer is a Spiritual Exercise.

There can be three motives of prayers. They are: -

a) Prayer are offered for obtaining the material needs or for making good

some important lacunae in one’s life, such as food, clothing, service,

money, wife, or child, relief from disease, redress from some distress,

tiding over calamity, to obtain great fame, to pass in examination, to

attain intelligence or in general to be successful in all undertaking in

worldly affairs.

b) Prayer is offered for spiritual evolution, to control the Kama and Krodha

i.e. the desires and anger, to understand what is soul, what is God, what is

Death, what are the conditions of Jiva after death and what is this

creation, for mental and intellectual development, and for knowing the

real path of liberation.

c) Prayer has another facet. There are real devotees of God who have no

demand whatsoever. They only wish to be merged in the God Consciousness and

the love of God. The sole concern in God realization. This effort is the

best kind of prayer.
