Prayers and Meditation – the ultimate power

In our lives, the journey we all embark on is surely magical. Prayers and meditation play a major role in the lives of many people every day. Just about every human in the world practices such wonder arousing acts of devotion. For us to appreciate these sacred rituals we need to think about the concept behind such acts. Even still they are two diverse rituals I want to explore the similarities of these spiritual rituals which give rise to respect and loving kindness.

We can all agree on the fact that, much knowledge and learning we obtain in life journey is completed by having an neutral and open intellect. Therefore we need to keep open neutral mind when we explore the subject on spiritual way of life. Thus despite the different chosen spiritual path at the end we all seek love and happiness and we are all trying to avoid suffering.

Foremost let’s glance at why do humans pray. Well the answer to this question cannot be specified by a straightforward response, while we are the same in essence, we all feel different emotions at different times, thus then some people may pray because that is what they been taught to do, and some may pray hoping to obtain their desires, and some may pray to be protected from hellish spaces of after life. And some may pray to find purpose and meaning to life, as we can agree it is different for everyone at a given time. Having both agreed now let’s look at why do people meditate? In the same way they may do so to have harmony of mind, more kindhearted, to be more conscious, more aware and more understanding or being a splendid spiritual spirits. There are limitless avenues people try to accomplish the feeling of joy and happiness, as we can concur we all do different spiritual acts for the well being of our spiritual satisfaction and spirituality. Also the goal we all try to reach is similar yet by different ways. As the proverb mentions “it doesn’t matter which road one takes to climb the mountain, on top, the view will be the same”.

When we study the spiritual paths of our human ancestors, we all get a fair idea on what the past spiritually chosen souls had to teach the human kind, they all try to taught, love compassion kindness virtue, all the admirable human potentials, human morals. Furthermore all the spiritual texts from ancient era, they all have one unquestionable fact, and that is we are all spiritual in our essence, and our own spiritual happiness lies in direct proportion on reflecting universal love through our hearts kindness.

However conflicts arise when a spiritual follower starts to misinterpret such teachings, and when someone starts to judge spiritual beliefs of others, then conflict arises, because the very action of us judging fellow human beings will create delusions, because we are not judges, we are simply pure humans who need to live virtues lives. That’s not to say we should not question if we could benefit from all teachings, because we always can benefit from different knowledge. But the act of judging must be left to the absolute being, in truth that being many call God or creator, or enlightened one, is the ultimate knower and the judge.

Universal love and compassion is around every one of us we simple should open up to receive it by means of meditation or prayer. There is no use in thinking that, others beliefs are right or wrong. Because in the eyes of absolute reality, as long as you seek love, that’s all it is asked of you. Therefore walk the path of your soul, meditate or pray, which ever suits you, we all have different needs and what might work for me might not be as useful for you, and vice versa. Do not illusion that, those who do not walk the same path as you will be unhappy or they will go to condemned places, by truly being compassionate arrive in respect and in love. If it is prayers that takes you there be my guest and go for it, if it is meditation that makes you realize love and joy again be my guest and go for it. Thus you may through your pure heart reflect the love you will find.

There is no wrong or right path of feeling loving feelings as long as you are aware and feel it, once you do become aware and wise and virtues then do not be selfish. being selfish causes much suffering and it is not of benefit to anyone, is the eternal love selfish? As you will realize if it was you and I wouldn’t be here, being fortunate to exist fortunate to receive the gift of life and ability to feel great feelings of love, as we are fortunate and capable human beings, we all travel to the same destiny. If you see a fellow human stumble on a obstacle or confusion reach out without meanness lend a helping kind hand.

This is way to obtain merits and good qualities, when life challenges you, as it will, as it is part of this journey of growth of your spirituality, then summon the spirit of patience and compassion. Be in your understanding of love. Sometimes we attend our daily lives and are occupied with much doubts and thoughts and out of no where a total stranger gives us a kindhearted human smile, then noticeably this makes us feel warm and happy. How would I know what spiritual path she or he follows or has chosen, at the end I felt happy, now would it be just for me or you? to think her or his chosen spiritual path is wrong? Answer clearly is NO, therefore realize the importance of all living beings and treat them as same as you want to be treated, which is to be loving virtues kind and joyful. You see dear spiritual friend, it doesn’t matter whether I meditate or pray as long as I understand it properly by trying to reflect the universal love, then this is all it matters. And in the eyes of eternity, that is all it matters, to love and be loved.
