Prayer

Prayer does not require unnecessary emotions or shouting. Prayer is the soul's self-empowerment. God did not created us as beggars. He made us in his divine likeness. A beggar who goes to a wealthy man's house and begs for alms only receives a beggar's share. However, the child can request and receive anything from his prosperous father. So we should not act like beggars. "Behave like a child."

When Mahatmas like “Nara Narayana, Krishna, Buddha, Sathya Sai Baba, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Sivananda say that we are made in the image of God, their words are not lying." Our prayer should be like a direct conversation with God. This is how we should pray. Lord, How Slothful, irrational, and irresponsible am I? Please don’t cast me out of your sight. Swami, don't put me off weighing my mistakes! O God, shower your grace upon on me, be by my side day and night, and lead my life in the right direction.... Oh God! Father, shower your keen vision on me all the time.

It should be prayed twice a day, thinking about your reliance on God.
