True prayer is a wonderful
channel through which flows the powerful love current from the humble
and yearning heart of a sikh to the Lotus feet of his beloved Satguru,
from the Lover's heart to the beloved Lord.
A true prayer unites the Lover with the beloved Satguru in a true bond
of love relationship. A sincere prayer from the heart cannot go unheard,
unheeded and unresponded.
A true prayer is a total submission, total surrender at the lotus feet
of the Lord. It rises from total humility of the heart; 'I'ego and 'Haumain'
remains neutralised. There is no assertion of individuality. A true sense
of meekness, nothingness, Garibi takes over. With total absence of ego
(haumain) a direct divine channel is established and in this channel flows
Divine Grace, Bliss, peace to the yearning and thirsting soul. The greater
the sense of humility the higher the force of flow of Grace and Bliss.
In the whole process of his prayer, a true sikh does not loosen the firm
grasp and hold of the lotus feet of the beloved Satguru. He gets what
he seeks. In true and sincere prayer the mind sets rolling at the lotus
feet of the beloved Satguru; is actually free from all thoughts and desires
and seeks from the Lord the Lord Himself; seeking worldly pleasures and
material possessions is no prayer.

Guru Granth Sahib (958) |

True Bliss is experienced
when ego is non-existent. True Bliss fills the void created by the exit
of ego, of total surrender of ego at the lotus feet of the Lord. With
ego surrendered, there is no more seeking, all desires disappear, the
Sweet Will and Bliss of the Lord takes over.
Prayer should not be contaminated with materialistic desires of greed
and lust. Prayer should not be commercialized. No business and bargaining
attitude in a prayer. Lord is certainly not in need of money and other
offerings as He bestows these on all.

Real
prayer needs no words, no gesture, no thoughts.
A real prayer only comes from the Lord |
