Prayer does not mean petitioning to God. Prayer is an index of the experience of Atmic bliss; it’s a method to experience this bliss, share it and be immersed in it. Prayers must emanate from the heart. Prayer that is not heartfelt is utterly useless. The Lord will accept a heart without words, but He will not accept words and prayers that are not sincere and heart-felt. In fact, God Himself is described as Lord of the Heart (Hridayesha). Only when you have firm faith in this, you will be able to manifest your divinity. Regard your body as a temple in which the Trinity - Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara reside. There are no separate places like Vaikunta or Kailash where they dwell. These are delusions born out of ignorance. God is inside you, outside you, and around you. Don’t doubt this. If you doubt this, you cannot experience peace or happiness! Firmly recognise this truth and live accordingly.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
