Whether you agree or not!
The thing about prayers is that you know that there is someone – don’t know who that is, what gender that is, don’t know about the shape, size, colour, don’t know about the whereabouts – because I don’t need to know. Yeah, many times, many, many times, you don’t need to know, and you don’t want to know about anything of this sort, because the trust in the entity, the belief, the faith in the entity, in the energy, in life, in the universe, is itself enough. Actually, it’s more than enough.
It’s between you and the energy. It’s between you and the entity. It’s between you and the pure belief in you. It’s between you and the deep faith inside you. It’s between you and the deep trust inside that says “everything is working out wonderfully, beautifully, and peacefully in my favour, for my greater good, for everyone’s greater good”.
It’s just that. It’s just that. And that is enough. Trust me, that is more than enough on any given day.
When you feel the presence of almighty in your life, when you see the blessings in your life, when you choose to speak, talk, and share your heart out with that one without any filters, inhibitions, when you already know that the universe is listening to you, seeing you, is helding you, protecting you, and making way for you everytime you seek its help, when you have that deep trust and faith in the life, in the cosmos itself to make everything happen for you beautifully, lovingly, and when life itself starts to feel like the extension of the countless blessings of almighty, you don’t need to know the shape, size, form, name, gender, religion, ethnicity of the one you believe in.
Your belief, your pure belief in the goodness in you and the goodness around, your deep faith and trust in the life, universe, and this grand cosmos will be enough always.
The thing about this belief is that it can’t be forced, and shall never be forced. The pure belief, trust, and faith in the goodness of life and in the divine universe can only come naturally. It’s something that your heart tells you, your intuition nudges you.
The books, the scriptures, the mantras, the rituals – everything is secondary. Your belief, your pure belief in the goodness inside you and around you, is what changes the trajectory of your life.
It shifts you inside. You feel the shift, you feel the connection. You feel it without performing any grand ritual or ceremonies at any holy shrine. It’s the internal shift. Externalities will only make sense when you feel the change, the shift, the connection inside.
Prayer is one of the simplest ways to feel that connection. It doesn’t require anything grand. It just requires you, your honesty, your honest and pure intentions, and your story – the part of your life you want to share with the universe, with the almighty.
Do your prayers with all the rituals, tools, techniques, mantras, chanting, and ceremonies you are told to, but make sure that you don’t leave your honest and pure intentions while talking to the one you believe in the most.
The extraordinarily satisfying feeling and assurance that someone is listening to you wholeheartedly and is sending all the help you need your way is the miracle prayer brings to you.
For me, that’s the thing about prayer, whether you agree or not!
Have you experienced something similar to this? Do you believe that prayer works?
How is your relationship with the universe, the almighty? Have you ever thought something like this?
I would love to know about your thoughts, feelings, and stories about this. Do share your experiences, please. I am looking forward to reading your stories.
