Prayer
in its various forms is just a contact between an individual soul and the
Creator. This is as simple as a conversation between any two people, only
difference here is the individual soul is involved in a communication with the
Creator, this conversation happening at the level of higher consciousness makes
it sacred.
We
as individual souls on earth are on a spiritual mission, a purpose which is
deep rooted in the “individual” soul. We are also given a free will to make our
own choices or move with the divine will, although both have their unique set
of consequences. As food is to the physical body, prayer is to the soul, which is
necessary for the soul’s growth & its alignment with divine purpose. When
we go extended periods of time without prayer, we are essentially starving our
soul.
If
prayer is so simple, just like a normal conversation, then why do we fail in
seeing it realized? Why do we feel like our prayers are going unanswered? Has
the creator, abandoned its own creation?
There
could be several possible reasons, let us look into a few as below:
#1: EXCESSIVE FOCUS ON MERE
IMITATION RATHER THAN UNDERSTANDING
Most
of the times the language what we use in our prayers is alien to us. We might
not even be knowing what we are talking about, in our prayers. We might be speaking
all the right things but as we are not aware of what we are speaking, it fails
to make any sense, as a prayer.
Prayer
is simple, a hi-fi sounding, complex
language is not always necessary to contact the creator, the creator can
understand its creation in any language and for that matter no language as
well, provided the intentions are true.
We
can converse with our creator 24*7 (because
HE is omnipresent), from where ever we are, no matter what we are doing, in our
plain everyday language. Slowly we will begin to experience the divine presence
to aid us in our growth.
#2: FALSE NOTION OF INTERCESSION
Everything
which we know & do not know spanning across billions of galaxies &
stars in the universe, are creations of the Supreme Creator. The supreme creator has never revealed his
form, and He or IT is beyond human comprehension. We cannot lock it down by
the principles & laws of universe which in fact were created by IT. And HE / IT can be totally exclusive of all the
matter, space and laws which we know.
We
are on Earth with a spiritual purpose, just like everything & everyone in
various places & times in the universe. Everyone & everything are mere
creations by the creator, serving & struggling with their own unique
purpose of existence.
Thus
when we look up for help in our spiritual purpose, the only authentic contact
can be between the Creator himself & the individual creation alone. We
simply cannot be sure of anything else. There
cannot probably be any intercession of any type, when we are betting our
prayers and for that matter our lives on some form of intercession, we are putting
our souls at the highest risk, which we can’t even fathom.
#3: DIVINE PURPOSE & TIMING
We
in our sense of urgency, always expect and desire things which might not be apt
for us or simply it may not be the right timing. The universe & everything
in it are intricately linked; even a minute change in the smallest things may
bring about totally unimaginable results. All the creation is controlled &
sustained by the divine law.
We in our limited sense of
perspective may wish things which are retrospectively wrong for ourselves.
The creator who knows beyond, may deny things altogether for our own good w.r.t
our spiritual purpose. And sometimes this denial may only be temporary, so that
this denial would trigger in us something, which prepares and makes us ready
for what we desire in the long run.
All
in all it is a tremendous test of Faith
& Trust in the Universe & Divine Creator.
#4: MISMATCH OF INTENTION &
ACTIONS
For
our prayers to materialize our intentions should go in tandem with our actions.
We can dream about all the wealth & pleasures, but when there is no
associated effort to make it happen, sadly nothing can materialize. The universe operates under laws, which
requires us to persevere to make things happen.
There
should be no doubt in the power of prayer, but prayer is a supplementary
support which ensures that we are at the right time at the right place, but it
is still we, who decide if we do the right thing, with right amount of effort.
As
with law of attraction, if our actions do not match our intentions, probably we
are doing more of repelling than attracting.
