The value of prayer

 Sometimes one feels everything is:
Futile, fruitless, vain, pointless; useless, worthless, ineffectual, ineffective, inefficacious, to no effect, of no use, in vain, to no avail, unsuccessful, failed, thwarted; unproductive, barren, unprofitable, abortive; impotent, hollow, empty, forlorn, idle, sterile, nugatory, valueless; hopeless, doomed, lost…..!….empty?….empty!

For some karmic reason, one isn’t connecting.

 This is when the routine of prayers or pujas helps. It is a ‘directional support’. Sometimes we feel at the end of our ability to understand, or we are trying too hard, and find we are a little too tense. That’s when we have to throw everything we know up in the air and just give in!

 Simple prayers or pujas allow one to melt into the practice, merely becoming the practice itself. It’s like bonding between parent and child. This is easier for some than others, but well worth trying, and at the end, you feel happy for no reason.

It’s a nice holy-day!
