SELFLESS PRAYER Prayer is full of emotions: deep, serene emotions filled with sincerity. But when there is too much emotion and not so much natural sincerity, then prayer becomes rather jejunical, and therefore ineffective. Then we do not receive a direct response from God. Prayer has its consequences. The nature of its response mainly depending on the inner nature of the person who prays, his temperament, his object in view, his requirements, his faith, and his sincerity. These are the sine qua non of prayer. Do you want God? Do you really want God? Do you really thirst for his vision (darsana)? Have you got real spiritual hunger? You may deliver thrilling lectures on bhakti (devotion), you may write volumes on bhakti and yet you may not possess a grain of true devotion. He who thirsts for the darsana of God, will develop bhakti. If there is a sincere demand for God, then the supply must come. By regular sadhana (practice) may you attain peace, bliss, knowledge, perfection and God-realization.
