What is a Prayer!

What is a Prayer? It is not necessarily reading the scriptures of our respective religion and wishing that God will grant our personal wishes, well that would be a very selfish attitude. What about those who do not follow any religion? They still believe in nature and in a force which is Abstract and indefinable. That infinite abstract power has His manifestation in all, be it living, non living, organic or inorganic. We the humans tend to bind Him in our narrow vision of interpretation which leads to many conflicts in the world as we are experiencing now. Prayer is not when we kneel or fold our hands together to focus on our material things to be rewarded by unknown supreme power, which different people call by different names. A prayer has many connotations such as;

1. Thinking positive and thanking God is a Prayer.
2. When we genuinely wish well for others, it is a Prayer.
3. When we cook something to nourish the hungry it is a Prayer.
4. When we see off our near and dear ones and wish them a safe journey, it is a Prayer.
5. When we help someone by giving our time or money, it is a Prayer.
6. When we forgive someone from heart, it is a Prayer.
7. Prayer is a vibration, a feeling, and a thought.
8. Prayer is the voice of love, friendship, and genuine relationship.
9. Prayer is an expression of our silent self.
10. Prayer is an acknowledgement of the Divine light, the Cosmic music and the Universe’s order.

Have a Good Day!
