Another prayer for you

This is second post on how to pray. Hope you have enjoyed the first post. This time, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this post more as well as learn the true art of praying.

Get up early every morning before dawn. Splash water (and only water, preferably cold, and nothing else) on your face to refresh. Then go out into the open, anywhere, outside the four walls – on the roof-top, in the street, to the nearby park etc. or if you are living close to nature like near the sea or in a mountainous region etc. – just go out amidst the nature. Make sure that you could see the east horizon. Fix your eyes and mind on the horizon and concentrate. Then, as the sun starts to come up, say this prayer. Pray it aloud or silently but make sure even if you are praying silently, your lips are moving as you speak. Let your ears hear what you are saying. Pray with conviction and listen to your own prayer with rapt attention so that you start believing what your are saying. If you pray thus, your prayer will be answered – that is my belief.

Now read the Prayer and then start praying.

“Ask and it is given” – Esther Hicks.

It is dawn now. The Sun is rising. This is the most sublime and pure moment of the day. As the sun is dispelling the darkness of the night, so is the darkness of my mind being dispelled. At this hour with the serene peace pervading the world, this is the right time to lift my mind up toward you. So goes my prayer, O my God!

The day, which is coming into being with dawn now, let it bring more light of purity to the world and her inhabitants. Let it bring a little more true peace. I pray to you to emerge in a little more brighter way than ever before. Let your sweet gospel be recognized by a few more human beings. Let the wisdom of yours, which is higher then the highest, greater than the greatest, truer than the truest, be revealed to all the human kind. Let your infinite love, which is deeper than the deepest, be spread all over the globe so that all the signs of pains and woes are healed. Now, with first rays of the sun, let it declare the festival of happiness. Rise, O God, as this sun rises now, from the core of my life. Let the sun become your emblem in my faith.

O God! O Lord of the World! Let this day today become the good-day, ‘The Happy Day’ of life when I become the devoted follower of your doctrine. Let me submit and dedicate myself at your service without any duality of the mind. Let me held myself higher up toward you so to be profited by a more brighter life, a more purer love. This is my prayer to you – that I could attune myself more with you in a more deeper and incessant way. I pray to be more one with you. I pray to be a better servant to you. O King of all kings, banish from me all egos, all sense of small prides, all greed, all urges of sense gratification. Let me light up like a heavenly fire with your divine love in me. Let me present myself to the world as the emblem of your lighted torch.

Now, at this purest hour of dawn, I dedicate myself to you with a peaceful mind. I feel happy.

Hail to you; O God!

It is you who conquer all the hurdles of life. My physical body just executes it on behalf of you. Now, I am coming to you, O Supreme Commander of life, with no expectation for rewards for I know now that I have no rights whatsoever to reap the fruits of success on a job which is yours. He, who executes well, is rewarded by you accordingly. So now, I am coming to you, and not to yours…., with the purest of mind at this purest hour of the day. I am coming with this one prayer only that let my mind be not distracted from the path of your supreme maxim, that your wishes are all fulfilled through me, through us all, and through all the objects of material value at every moment. Let me be truthful to you from the highest object to the smallest cell in my body, and from my body to my soul.

Hail to you; O God! Hail to you.

How Should we pray!

Prayer is an art as well as science. A lot of us pray. Some pray everyday, some only in times of fear and need, some with belief and some to show the world that he or she is very religious.

But in reality, most of us don't know how to pray. We lack conviction in our prayers and when the prayer is not answered, we start doubting about the existence of God.

God can not be seen, heard, felt or argued about or anything that we could think of doing with senses. We go for logic rather than belief because God can only be understood through proper knowledge.

A prayer, done in the perfect way, can take us to the vicinity of that knowledge. So let us pray. Let us learn the art and science of praying. This is how I pray:--

OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE before you start praying.

Oh God! My desire of asking for you from you has acquired the beautiful manifestation of a rose – equally vibrant, equally orderly, equally bloomed and fragranced. Holding that rose by my two hands, I dedicated that to you. I pray to you that if my intelligence is restricted within my finite body, expand it to the infinite universe; if my knowledge is under the cover of darkness, then enlighten it with the light of wisdom; if my heart lacks ecstasy, then kindle it with the fire of passion; if my love looks like a dim force, brighten it up to the extreme magnitude; if my feelings are of unconscious pride, show me the truth for the conscious understanding.

Spending a few moments in front of you in quietude is like enjoying life for hundreds of years.

God, dispel all the darkness that lurks over me so that I could fill myself up with devotion and peace in order to make myself your dedicated servant. Let my mind become a pure, transparent crystal before you so that it reflects you every time. So beautiful it is to be quiet in front of you.

I don’t know how should I express my peace, my calm, my feeling of littleness when I feel that I have attained freedom from the thoughts about myself, from the thoughts of life, health, enjoyment, and even from the thoughts of personal development.

Everything has become beautiful to me – beautiful, rhythmic, and quiet. Irrespective of the sounds and noises around me, I am seeing you amidst this quietness. Oh God! I pray to manifest your impression upon me through just one expression – an exalted and eternal smile.

When I don’t go with my life attuned with yours, then that should be the moment for my last breath – must I start extinguishing from that moment. God, you are my only cause, only goal, and only refuge. I want to become a body of living love. Let all my solitude, my pains get dissolved in the vibrant ocean of All-Love.

The only thing that is needed to overwhelm myself with the eternal ethics is to become conscious aware about you, is to attune with you, and holding on to this conscious attunement – incessantly.

Everything presents itself to me in glorious greatness and with extreme beauty when all my thoughts head straight at you and get embodied in you. And from the day when we would start allowing this “Super-Vision” or clairvoyance to lead us, from that day we would start tracing our life’s path in small but sure steps, overriding on all the obstacles of life without any hesitation. From my experience I know, all doubts and all hesitations give their way in when we become aware about THE DIVINE DICTUM. All our earthly desires of love and affection and care and cure etc. are human instincts. But we are only fulfilled when we are driven by Godly Instincts i.e. when we simply turn our face to God.

Visit the other pages from the top navbar and you'll understand who you are and what you are or what you are capable off. We create our lives through our thoughts. We create our reality from amidst the vast of possibilities. And all our creation starts from the moment we start thinking, all our success starts from the moment we start doing. And all our thinking and doing start with a PRAYER.

How do we become a victim of negative emotions?

In the self-help industry, there have always been suggestions and advices regarding how you could overcome your negative emotions and negative mind-sets. Lots of exercises like Meditation, Hypnosis, Yoga, Reiki, Zen etc. are advised to practice to overcome these negative aspects.

No doubt, people dive into such suggestions and advices with an illusory hope that these exercises would bring remedy to their turmoiled life by some magic. The hope has nothing Divinity in it. Neither it carries any faith. Most of us don’t try to delve any deeper into our thought-patterns and belief-systems to find the root of the cause which turn us negative.

In my experience, one of the root causes of becoming negative is becoming SOLITARY. Everywhere you will see that the more developed we are becoming in our external affairs i.e. earthly activities, the more we are becoming alone in our inner world. And solitude is a by-product of ‘the feeling of guilt.’ The more we are performing, the more the guilty-feeling is getting on us. Arguably, this could be cited as the greatest cause of our turning negative in today’s decaying society. With the decay of moral and social values, people are getting detached from each other. The institution of the family is crushing down. Love-bonds, relationships, friendships etc. have just become some names. We just can not trust anybody today for, most often than not, it is found that the trusted person has done some kind of betrayal. A marriage that normally takes place under Divine Interference, is ending up into physical separation and mental dejection under Human Interference.

Therefore, we are becoming more conscious of our guilty-feelings. And the consequence that is following is our desperate attempts to hide those guilts. As we are more conscious these days about fruitation of our external activities for earthly gains of individual concerns, we are not limiting ourselves to commit conscious crimes and offenses. But equally we are concerned about hiding these crimes as we are always in the fear of being caught. The ‘hide and seek game’ can only result in fear which induces a person to commit more crimes. Remember Macbeth? Once he had committed a crime, how he went on to commit more crimes in order to hide that initial crime for he was always in the fear of being found out. This fear gradually overwhelms us, as it did with Macbeth, and we start living constantly in it with our utmost consciousness until it becomes our habit.

This problem starts to get into us from the childhood days of 6-8 years. Parents start prohibiting their wards for doing things of their own. But in most cases they don’t supply the necessary explanations that is needed to satisfy the quest that is invoked in the child by the prohibition. As a result some children turn timid in behavior, some others become bold and desperate and go on or try to go on with the adventure to find out all by themselves, what the reason is for the prohibition.

We adults, often, want our younger generation to follow us and abide our instructions without asking any questions. When somebody wants to defy, we turn violent and ruthless, most of the times, for we are too much pre-occupied in our mind with the problems of our lives and other earthly matters. Very often we fail to notice or regularly deny to accept that the children have their own world of imagination and prohibiting them to do certain acts without proper explanation could infuse in them a sense of guilt.

This grows as the child grows and grows with it the tendency to play the ‘hide and seek game’, ending up the child – now turned person, with full of negative emotions. Therefore, understanding the child psychology and tending a child with proper mental treatment is an utmost necessity of parents and would-be parents of today.

Fear, doubt, disbelief etc. are very contagious. And most often we contaminate the God-like mind of our little ones with our fear, doubts, worries etc. by transmitting into them these negative emotions.

As the person grows up, these negative emotions develop in him or her as well and take concrete shape when the person attains adulthood. These negative emotions stay in for the rest of the life and convert our belief-system to full of guilty-feeling. And the more we execute our jobs, both indoor and outdoor, the more we tend to play the hide and seek game. Not just we hide ourselves by alienating us from various social activities, we start doubting every other person about everything and when the fear shows up for being caught, we start condemning others and complaining about others. The more louder the voice of condemning and complaining is heard, the more is the case that the complainer is the real guilt.

It becomes quite evident to a knowledgeable person that it is the complainer who is either trying to hide his or her guilt, or just escaping from shouldering the responsibilities or both.

An alert person, who is living in the present moment with his/her mind, knows the value of taking responsibilities. He/She doesn’t condemn or complain for he/she is free from the woes of the past and the fears of the future. He/She never plays the hide and seek game for he/she doesn’t suffer from guilty-feeling. And, as a consequence, he/she never finds himself/herself alone.

So be in the present moment. Start sharing responsibilities and stop condemning and complaining. Once the past-pains and future-worries are out of your thought-pattern and belief-system, you would definitely free your mind from the feeling of guilt. Then there would no reason left to play the hide and seek game and consequently you won’t become lonely, alien to you near ones, your family and friends, and of course, your society.

To overcome the negatives, you need to OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE.
