Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 On Prayer ----- By : Prof Anil Kumar, Sai Sandesh s On Prayer, unfortunately, our approach is totally on sided and selfish. We are devoted only for the sake of worldly success. We all pray for material gain, which is nothing but appeals, demands and requests for fulfillments of desires. This is not prayer at all. This is not devotion. .. The right way to pray is to accept and surrender to the will of the Lord. It is also an act of thanks giving and act of gratitude to God. When we feel a sense of gratitude, then prayer is no longer for any receiving or a business contract- we can then acquire equal mind-ness.Bhagavan explains that while all the people have problems, these problems are temporary, like passing clouds and don't stay with us for long.Every problem has to lesson to teach. Any suffering has a message to convey. All this is a process of self-evolution, stage by stage, like graduating from one examination to the next. Those, which we consider as difficulties, are but steps towards ultimate spiritual evolution. Those, which we consider as difficulties, are but steps towards ultimate spiritual evolution. Baba declares that pain and pleasure co-exist together: One is the obverse, the other is reverse. One cannot be separated from other.Ram ChuganiKobe, Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
