Prayer is purely a personal affair, like that between ,a mother and the
child. It involves a pure love bond between the creator and the created. Hence not
only it is not necessary to do it in public, it becomes hypocritical to do it so. Our
love towards our mother is never advertised nor showed off in public.
In fact
worshipping places and rituals are created for layman to get his mind conditioned
and remind himself of prayers as soon as he approaches this place of worship and
starts performing the rituals. It also helps him to get himself
during his interaction with the divine. No fixed time or place or rituals are required
for prayer..
Are you not happy to remember your mother any time any where
whether you need her or not?, Do you ever try to fix up a place, time and certain
rituals to meet her ? Do you not just remember her? You donot even need verbal
expressions to express your love towards her. All you have to do is just think of
her and feel the love towards her. That is all. It is exctly the same with God
Mother loves both intelligent, and foolish children alike. There is no
partiality or differentiation by her. Mother does not expect anything from her
children. She is happy with anything which you offer with love. It is alright even if
nothing is offered in physical during prayer. You will feel the energy surging in you,
invigorating all your senses after a really meaningful, loveful prayer. It is not that
the almighty will immediately come to our rescue and fulfill all our wishes. He
always fills us with the energy to achieve our goal, and guides us or shows us the
way to achieve it on our own.
Hence it is not necessary to believe in existence of God as we are taught
to think about his being. Though we cannot see the electricity, we cannot deny its
existence. But everyday we
periodically need to recharge our very own being, and prayer does just that.
