Prayer to the unknown


"JIS PATE PE CHITTI DAL RAHE HO US PATE KA EK BAR PATA KAR LO"



From schools to religious places wherever we go we listen people often asking us to pray. But nobody asks the question
                                        "To whom are we praying & Why are we praying"   
If one asks this one question in his life, many dimensions of his or her life will open up. But we don't ask this one simple question. If we ask also, there is no right person to answer, because no body knows what they are doing, they are doing simply for the sake of doing. To know, we need courage , we need intellect, we need energy, we need love, we need patience, which we actually miss.

 Ramakrishna Paramhansa once said to Vivekanada,
                                          
                                        "Devotion is not asking , But  Dissolving"
which means

                                       "Prayer is not about asking something to someone
                                                But To find the one within the one"

Chapter 10: The Human Goal: Moksha - Story of Kotikarna

Bhikshu Kotikarna mentioned that Moksha is to understand your true nature. (अपने असली स्वरूप को पहचानना ही मोक्ष है।). However, for a majority of us the question would remain as beautifully asked by the student in Vivekachoodamani: भ्रमेणाप्यन्यथा वाऽस्तु जीवभावः परात्मनः तदुपाधेरनादित्वान्नानादेनार्श इष्यते॥ अतोस्य जीवभावोऽपि नित्या भवति संसृतिः न निवर्तेत तन्मोक्षः कथं मे श्रीगुरो वद॥ [- १९२ & १९३] bhrameṇāpyanyathā vā'stu jīvabhāvaḥ parātmanaḥ tadupādheranāditvānnānādenārśa iṣyate. atosya jīvabhāvo'pi nityā bhavati saṁsṛtiḥ na nivarteta tanmokṣaḥ kathaṁ me śrīguro vada. [192 & 193] That the Supreme Self has come to consider itself as the jiva, through delusion or otherwise, is a superimposition which is beginning less. That which is beginning less cannot be said to have an end ! So the jiva-hood of the Self must also be without an end, ever subject to transmigration. Please tell me, O revered Teacher, how then can there be 'moksha' (liberation) for the Self? ...
