MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 128

Radhe krishna,

Good morning and have a blessed day,

POWER OF PRAYER

Swami Sivananda

Through prayer the devotee sits by the side of the Lord. Prayer expands the heart. Prayer purifies the heart. Prayer is a powerful spiritual injection. It fills the heart with immense power and strength. Every religion has its own prayer. Pray in the early morning. It is more effective. Pray at all times. Let prayer become habitual, your second nature. Pray not for wealth, position, wife and children and success in lottery and horse-race. It is mean and deplorable. Ask for Darsana of the Lord. Pray for devotion and communion. Recite the beautiful Upanishadic prayer in the morning and at night: "Asato ma sat gamaya, Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya, Mrityorma amritam gamaya —Lead me on from unreal to Real, from darkness to Light, from mortality to Immortality."

Thus, the wise sadhaka, the earnest seeker, understanding that the divine science is also a  science governed by precise laws and conditions which if fulfilled yield results, is never perturbed  and never gives up. Calmly, patiently, perseveringly and continuously one keeps up the effort that leads to realisation. Thus, one should relate oneself to this divine science as a person of faith and a person who is a   yogi. Because, the hallmark of yoga is abhyasa; repeated, continuous effort is the inner svarupa of yoga.

Swami Chidananda.

Our status in the cosmos is our true history, and no study of a person can be complete or be free from doubt unless it is studied from the cosmical standpoint.
- Swami Krishnananda
