The Teachings
A Partial Teaching on Prayer and Praying
Discourse
INTRODUCTION
I bow my head before HIM and seek HIS Blessing directly when I say OMNMNKAAAR Namoh – GOD Bless me.
PARAMATMA pays attention and gives HIS personal Blessing
Whenever you have something to do during the day, start with a prayer and after it is done, say another prayer of thanks.
Starting and Ending The Day
Start your day with a little prayer to thank GOD for the night and place yourself in HIS care for the rest of the day ahead.
Similarly end your day with a prayer of thanks for the day and commend yourself to HIS care for the night ahead.
Prayers should be short and simple, and should be made by the person who needs it.
Rule #1: I am Responsible (for making my own prayers).
Essential Elements of Your Prayer
Certain essential elements of these short prayers during the day.
1. Begin with OMNMNKAAAR Namoh
2. Identification of the person making the request (prayer)(I (name of person) present myself before you ….
3. Purpose of the request (e.g.: cook, mow the lawn, and make a dessert).
4. Thank HIM for (whatever it is …).
5. End with OMNMNKAAAR Namoh
PRAYING
GOD says, “When you need me, remember me by my name, OMNMNKAAAR.” HIS name is like a doorbell in your voice box. When you says HIS name, HE hears your prayers immediately.
However, it is possible to pray and be heard by GOD without knowing HIS name.
GOD is not insensitive to people’s prayers.
When a needy person prays, the effort and need are answered and responded to.
The path is only one through HIS Name OMNMNKAAAR.
GOD is benevolent.
HE sees and listens when you pray to HIM.
All activities of the body+mind given to your Atma/Soul are recorded at all times.
When you remember GOD through HIS Name OMNMNKAAAR
You create a virtual sphere which is placed in your communication channel.
This channel when filled will present your intelligence before PARAMATMA to enable your body+mind request GOD for the Janam Kaarya/Life Task of your Atma/Soul.
The size of each sphere is dependent upon the effort and intensity with which you recite OMNMNKAAAR.
Each recitation of OMNMNKAAAR rewards you with one such sphere.
Size of each sphere demands intensity and effort is needed.
The amount of time spent in prayer is also rewarded.
