A prayer is humble way to seek something – from within or without. It is an act of ego less acknowledgment of own limitations and dependence on external factors. However, when it comes to something from within we do not pray – we demand, as we always feel that all the best from our own mind is ready made and completely at our disposal – on command. Our value system does not respect the intangibles as they do not cost anything commercially. The term prayer is a specific choice of word to denote supremacy of something we possess but do not acknowledge.
We as a rule are not habituated in making use of most of intangible human assets. If we feel that we are using them fully, then there is something wrong and we must check back.
Personally I am fortunate to be a witness to this way. In 2006 I went through a near fatal health problem, though the medicines arrested further deteriroration, the mind was all blank with only few memories. A search for awareness helped me to regain the normalcy in few months and now I work on these and similar comlexities. There are so many and more surprising examples where people having lost hopes getting back to normal and more successful this way. There are innumerable examples of people doing the seemingly impossible things requiring intelligence of highest order.
We need not venture to imagine results of normal and healthy people paying for strength of their intangible powers. It can be more than a revolutions, more than a miracle, more than dream for a fulfilled life. One can experience and enjoy more reincarnations in one cycle of of life and death.
If we go deep into these matters we will realize that why we need to pray our subconscious. It is part of the universal soul –Pramatm. It always prefers to give all liberty to our conscious mind to live it's own way. Subconscious powers need to be invoked with a prayer out of earnest desire to do something better than a conscious mind can deliver. “The Alchemist” has very meaningful statement in this context - “I always appear in one form or another. Sometimes I appear in form of solution, or a good idea. Some times at a crucial moment, I make it easier for things to happen... When people are following their destiny and dreams, all the universe conspires in helping them to achieve it.”
We experience this many a times and we deeply feel like revisiting the experience - unimagined but real life story in our lives. We do not care about the source, we attribute all to a “Luck” factor and keep on doing the wishful thinking.
Somehow, in past 8-10 decades we learned so many good things, science, technology, biology, missile technology, atoms, hydrogen, management and so on- all capable to be through conformity tests. We feel that we have mastered the powers that can us happiest ever in the history of mankind. However, in the process we replaced faith within, with these sciences and scientific ways. Yet there are voids, vacuum which faith and emotional approach lost in the process is not made good in real sense. Simply because, the knowledge humanity has acquired is not enough to touch each and every aspect life of masses – where each individual perception and need is actionable subject. The present circumstances in the world, natural disasters, poverty, cruelty, inequity and war are not punishments from God or anyone else. They were created by us individually and collectively.
Influenced by innumerable stresses and stretches, individual and society, do need peace of mind, strengths, courage and positive ways to respond to the demanding realities. Human developed knowledge and tools are inadequate and yet all the challenges need to be managed and resolved.
Best approach is to optimize a system in such a manner that individual is capable to manage his own problems. They are opportunities for spiritual enlightenment and growth. When we rise from our own insanity and see what is obvious, we will be able to change what has been done by us. We need to collect recollect and recompose intensity of all resources which are not available out side of us. We do not possess answers for such a scenario and we are trying to rediscover them. We need to recapture and redefine the vibrations…
This is an attempt to conceptualize a prayer - an approach, in the light of newer scientific knowledge about the brain and it’s enormous capacity, memory, thinking, creativity, imaginations and emotional intelligence. We now know that each of human biological capability is fully explained by “natural process of selection and exclusion”; which is replicated and reproduced. We are successfully discovering the co relations between biological arrangements and human behavioral patterns. Selective behavioral patterns and satisfaction. 90% of satisfaction depends up on proactive human initiatives and 10% on it's reactive approaches. With these realities in the mind, a payer, then becomes an auto suggestion, internal reminder, a beginning of good motivation, appeal for an intuition, role of active subconscious.
This is not a research but a simpleton's honest absorption of the scattered knowledge with a intention to help people to keep on doing better individually and collectively.
