Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 26-03-2011
Today I heard a question, “What is prayer?”. Do not think it is an ordinary question. Generally our prayers are:
“God give me this
God please give me that or
Please take this away from me”.
This is how we pray but this is not how we should pray. “God please let everything happen as is best for me”. Many forget to say this and even seem to bargain with God. This is very wrong, because the Supreme One does not need anything from us. If you stop to think about it you will realize that it is indeed by God’s grace that your soul is contained in your body. You also very much need His grace when your soul leaves this body and needs to ascend to a higher state. So when you pray to God it is good to request of Him “Please do whatever is best for me”.
