My Prayers



Many times we stand in pious places and get lost with what all should we say as a prayer to offer to God. In my purview, its not an interesting conversation that we put our wishlist or pain points standing, in such a peaceful and enjoyable and place full of energy, as it sounds like we remember the originator with always "I want" and "I wish" tag in the talks. This talk should be happy, exuberating, full of love, naughtiness. For God is with us all the time, he knows what we are going through. What we have in store for life, he is within us suffering with us, enjoying with us moment to moment. Life is full of joy and sorrows and they do co-exist as complementary values for each one of us.


As I remember Him now, while writing this post - my prayer to God takes the following words ;)


God, I am emptying all my thoughts in your presence. I am emptying myself of all the burdens and am moving on from now completely empty. May I stay near your feet always and become a beautiful flower. I belong to you !

Very true ....prayers should be private conversations between me and God but dont you think our wishing and wanting has more to do with the parent-child relationship we share with God.

We wish and we want - if your kid just has this conversation with you, where is love and joy. Praying is a lot more of a feeling to the wants in life. You want something you aspire or dream about - how many times do u get it and thereon you blame God. It was your wish and you wanted it to be God's command :)
It is as simple as if the kid is asking for a pen he saw with his friend and you cant seem to find the same thing for him- you pick him another one - yet you will disappoint him and shake his faith. So let the parent pick the best he can for his child and we put all our botherations to him to take care of. Someone wise said once - whatever happens with God's will is the best thing to have happened to you.

I beg to differ a bit here. Wishing and wanting shows you consider the person your own so there is definitely a lot of joy and love in the wishing and wanting. We dont wish and want from strangers. Of course agree with you there, we can blame God for not getting something. I never stop asking but if I dont get, I always assume God has something better in store. That keeps me happy.

Each person has God within him and what you aspire, with your actions molded in the same direction, the power inside helps you. That itself shows how deep the bond is with God.
Who is stranger here - if you dont get it - its not his wish..so let it be ..why fret over it still hanging in the system and kee asking him abt it.
Upnishads talk about desire as follows :
You are what your deep driving desire is.
As your desire is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed is, so is your destiny

This argument is going like asymptotic curves. I also said that fretting over is not the thing to do. So what are we arguing about? I also feel that my relation with God is a very personal one and the process I want to interact with God is a personal one too so. Each person has his or her own way and we should not try to say what is wrong or what is right. Its just me and my God and we have our own private norms for that relationship and whether it is the right way or wrong is not the right of any individual to judge.

Zoom up on your energy Each person carries with him/her a persona, which is very unique to the person. And this persona is nothing but your energy zone which gets impacted also by the people, you are with. Did you realize somedays, we are too low on energy and other days are normal or high energy? I recently read an article on the same and it described that everytime you are with people (which is all the time :-D), they start to draw from your energy or you start drawing on theirs, depending on where the source is high (Source fills to the sink ..the physics principle). It examplified the same with the scenarion that, if you are sitting with a person, who is continuosly yamning (he/she is low in energy at that moment) and shall start sapping on your energy, till the time you split from that meeting your own energy levels would have gone down from before. Its a very interesting phenomenon to understand reiki and meditations are all based on the same principle. We are all sources of ene

Am I Your FRIEND ?

One of my best friend shared it with me this morning and i liked an interesting conversation which followed and I wanted it at my blog too, so here it is :) I AM not your friend if..... you have to think before you speak to me! I am not your friend if..... my presence ever makes you feel uncomfortable! I am not your friend if..... you have to thank me for everything i do for you! I am not your friend if..... you have to say sorry for everything that you don't do! I am not your friend if..... you have to ask me for favors! I am not your friend if..... you think i would not be curious to know your new philosophy of life! I am not your friend if..... you go by what i say and do not understand what i don't say! I am not your friend if..... you think that listening to your dreams would put me to sleep! I am not your friend if..... you think that seeing you in pain, would not bring a tear to me! I am not your friend if..... you think I do not remember the first time we met! I am not

All That Jazz

I was just catching up on with some friends recently and Ankit quoted on my dance classes. And I quipped to him that I need to write a blog for that. More so it was an excuse for taking time out which I had been avoiding for a long time for a lot of work load around. To an extent I didnt miss my blog for I kept writing in one way or the other :) I havent left my dance school as yet..and I hope not to do so as well. Its been a long time I have been with them and over these years I have learnt a lot ..a little more than just dance and it helped me overall. I learnt patience ...you dont get things in one shot ..yet you have to keep striving for it..keep on finding what works for you and once you do ..try for even higher..can u do yet better than that. I was commenting to Ashu (at work) that there was a time I wanted to be able to address a group of people as a good communicator and not only a communicator I wanted to hold their attention till the time I was talking and I didnt have it in
