Someone once said, "...in prayer I am talking to God, in meditation God is talking to me". Well, each person has something to share when it comes to God.That's good. Prayer is powerful. It gives us a sense of reliance upon an energy which is deemed as energy of existence or GOD in common parlance. In prayers we pour the depth of our happiness in the form of gratitude and splash the grievances in the form of bitter tears. Either way, Prayers help us to compose ourselves and identify the root cause of our desires and pain. I am talking about genuine prayers where one loses oneself in essence of the self. Genuine prayers helps to calm our mind by means of slowing down our breathing pattern, thus indirectly reduces the agitation of the mind, or some may call it inner chattering. We should not pray to get our prayers answered, but pray to be relieved of attachment to sensory pleasures which is the primary cause of every mental agitations. It is not easy, but it is possible. Prayers are known, if daily, to have created a state of mental balance where our physiological processes functions at its best and give us a better health. Pray not to get what you want, Pray that you may want what you get. It doesn't matter if GOD is there or not there, always remember to pray, for that is the very basic of our yearning towards non-attachment. That is life too.
