I truly believe his thoughts are mine and so my thoughts also become his thoughts, and these thoughts I release everyday to the Universe to be taken care of.<br />During my younger days I was always, like 'I want this, I want that etc,'<br />However, soon I realized whatever I am entitled to has to come to me, and the very fact that such desires/ thoughts/ intentions are put inside my mind itself shows, they are meant to happen, so with this knowledge, I am totally at peace with myself and the Universe.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396360614029039354.post-50836588630197655432014-03-26T13:32:04.677+05:302014-03-26T13:32:04.677+05:30Prayer is not just to achieve anything.

It helps us in bringing a sense of calmness to the mind, so that we get a better understanding of the world around us.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396360614029039354.post-28523142494460168002014-03-26T12:59:25.048+05:302014-03-26T12:59:25.048+05:30Having faith and belief, as you said, is very impo...Having faith and belief, as you said, is very important! Also in your daily prayer it is important to count your blessings, to be grateful for all that we have been given!

I pray everyday, for others, sometimes for someone whom I have never met nor will meet in this life time. I have experienced that there are no unanswered prayers. Because sometimes God's answer is just a NO.padmajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297562916603110230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396360614029039354.post-11532596980201271002014-03-24T19:26:17.549+05:302014-03-24T19:26:17.549+05:30I don't know why, but I can't concentrate ...I don't know why, but I can't concentrate when I go into the pooja room and ask for something! Yes, I recite shlokas sitting outside the pooja room, maybe because the room is very small. I just ask 'keep everybody safe' in my language, that is all. I have never asked specifically for anything at any time!Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478831923010850316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396360614029039354.post-25240213420644721062014-03-24T17:08:39.572+05:302014-03-24T17:08:39.572+05:30Well said KP.

Think of him in all you do and feel his presence.<br />It is but natural that many would pray with a selfish purpose but important is that intention should not be evil or guided by avarice.<br /><br />I detest our culture of bribing God , cash/kind. I believe he needs your devout faith even in tested times. Thank him by dwelling more on qualities.<br /><br />Finally, devout faith can never be defined/measured. the fruits of devout faith are determined according to me by our Karma.<br /><br />Base Line, pray with devout faith but but dont expect or lay conditions, what is best for you will be done.<br />L KRUPAAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444862052732342641noreply@blogger.com
