Prayer Has Tremendous Power

Take any religion of the world, prayer is an essential part in all. The way people of different faiths offer prayer may be different. God in His mercy has given only to human being. This gift of praying . no other form of creation has this precious gift.

Prayer has tremendous power. It can move mountains. Generally, we pray to God when we are in distress or difficulty. However, we should learn t pray n all situations. Favourable or unfavourable.

Prayer should be aimed at self improvement. Your prayer to God should not be for the satisfaction of your physical needs and desires, but to elevate you from bondage to freedom . You should  pray to God, that you could remember Him under all circumstances.

A true prayer is the one which makes no grievance of what may or may not please you. Prayer should lead to abide by the will of God.

Accept People As They Are

A story was told  about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam, He called his parents from Sanf Francisco.

“Mom and Dad. I am coming home , but I have a favour to ask . I have a friend I would like t bring home with me”

“Sure,” they replied, “We would love to meet him”.

There is something you should know”, the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He was nowhere else to go, and I want him to come and live with us”.

“I am sorry to hear that, son Maybe  we can help him find somewhere to live. “

“Son “, said the father , “you don’t know what you are asking .

Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we cannot let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come  home and forget about this guy. He will find a way to live on his own. “

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police . their son had died after falling from building they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him but to their horror they also find something they did not know their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good looking or fun  to have around, but we don’t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable . we would  rather stay away from people who are not as healthy , beautiful , or smart as we are. Thankfully, there is someone who would not treat us that way. Someone who loves us that way. Someone who loves us  with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight before you tuck yourself in for the night , say a little prayer that God will give yo the strength you  need to accept people as they are , and to help us all the more understanding of those who are different from us!

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

In the course of my previous lecture on the universe, I showed that a big section of  the universe can exist only in the mind and not outside, since it is not  a simple, elementary entity, but a composite one, made up of three factors-the seer, the seen , and the illumining or unifying principle.  Besides the temporary and finite universe of an individual soul, having birth and death there is also an eternal and infinite universe,  which history  and science hold out to us, Such a universe can exist only in an eternal and infinite  Seer or Mind that goes by the name of God; and that God must be absolute, self-existent and one, because there cannot be two infinites. The absolutely one, all knowing and all powerful; Being has brought us all in this big banquet hall, and by His innumerable powers manifested as the minor gods, has been satisfying our innumerable desires for eternity.

 

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
