PRANA AND PRAYER - I

PRANA AND PRAYER

Health, Beauty and The Inner Glow; these are glimpses of what God’s world holds hidden in the treasure of simple joys.

Truth, Beauty and Love; if we let them inspire in our hearts a feeling of awe, of overwhelming wonder, the glow kindled inside us shall emerge as a pleasant radiance which will take away the breath of the beholder!

Let us surrender to the will of God (by Nature or any other name) and be like the bubbling brook that flows playfully along, not caring about what comes after the next bend or boulder. Behold the little brook as it slides and tumbles along to become a young stream, full of vigour and vitality, unmindful of the seeming obstacles in its way. Observe the mature flow of the river, carrying much on its broad back, lending its shoulders to ease the efforts of the multitude. Rejoice in the grace of the sluggish old river, nearing the end of its solitude, bearing the weight and experience of a life fully lived, breathing now only to stay alive till it merges and becomes one with the wholeness of the Ocean.

‘Prana’ is the term used for the 'life-force'; the energy of prayers, blessings and goodwill that abound in the world, waiting only for the receiver's willingness to loosen up, relax, and open one's heart and soul to receive Grace.

Take a look at pictures of gods and goddesses and gurus and saints and philosophers and children and lovers and young people, and feel; does their effervescent and serene Beauty come from outward applications and ‘make-up’, or is it from within, and real?
