PRAGYA SANDESH –
21st Century, Bright Future |
|
Objective of the Periodical: |
The root causes of the ailing state of the world today are – the
crisis of faith, people’s ignorance of the powers of the inner self, and the
lack of righteous attitude. These have evaporated the oceans of joy from
people’s life and polluted them with ever increasing insecurities,
infirmities and complexities. Realizing the hidden power of thoughts is very
important in the present era of intellectual evolution. This periodical will
serve as a vehicle for thought transformation for the revival of Satyug - the divine era. |

SADVICHAR (Thoughts for Contemplation): A True Prayer Our prayers should be worthy of us as children of The Divine. We must
pray the Almighty to arouse our indwelling love, wisdom and strength, which
would support and guide steps in all phases of the revolving wheel of
circumstances. We, as sparks of Divine Light, ought to pray for illuminating
our inner self with the subliminal glow of divinity so that no storm of
hardship or turbulence of ups and downs of life could ever quaver the flame
of our faith in the divine origin of our souls.
"Oh Lord! Bless us with strength, courage and wisdom so that we
could meet adversities as opportunities to refine our qualities and
strengthen our potentials. The roadblocks of obstacles and challenges of the
path should serve as harbingers of a brighter tomorrow." - Such would be
an ideal prayer to elevate the level of our optimism and enthusiasm and would
protect us from becoming disheartened, weak or cowardly.
We have to become intrepid warriors of Light and not perplexed
fugitives in the battlefield of life. Prayer is less about asking for things
we are attached to than it is about our relinquishing our attachments - thus
taking us beyond fear. When we pray, we don't change the world; we change
ourselves. We move away from BEGGING to LETTING - "In this moment I am
here, Oh divine master, use me. Let thy will be done through me."

UPAKHYAN (Anecdote):
After a day of extreme hard work when tired Mahatma Gandhi lied down
on bed for a short rest in the evening, he went into deep sleep. When he got
up it was already daybreak next day. He was overcome with a deep sense of
regret. He had missed his evening prayers. He decided to fast the whole day
as an act of repentance. When people enquired he said, “I forgot that Supreme
Soul in whose being I spend each and every moment of my life. Can any
sin be greater than that!” That whole day he fasted.
