[QUOTE="Ambarsaria, post: 153105, member: 14194"] [b]Ardas, a Sikh prayer: What is the essence?[/b] Humbly submitted for discourse and comments. Who are you praying to or with? [LIST] [*]One is praying with collective congregational and self conscience [*]One does not pray to a God but recognizes the creator all around [/LIST] What are the take-aways from Sikh prayer? [LIST] [*]Remembering the Guru jis, their teachings, sacrifices of all before us and seeking the continuation and blossoming of Sikhism in the future. [*]Seeking virtuous but practical Sikh living through strength, wisdom and benevolence in consonance with the creation [/LIST] How do your personal or other items fit in with congregational prayer done on your behalf? [LIST] [*]The prayer is simply a representation of your ills and blessings and sharing of such with the collective conscience of the congregation while recognizing the truth and creator everywhere [/LIST] What can one pray for? [LIST] [*]One can pray for anything but it needs to be recognized that prayer is a positive activity in letters and spirit so goodwill is the driver and ill will is not. [/LIST] What is the power of a Sikh prayer? [LIST] [*]The power is derived out of self and collective conscience of the congregation and creator is not walking around to accentuate this. [*]So out of a prayer, avenues may open through collective conscience, interactions with others may result that help, through solemn and humility driven thinking one may rejuvenate and find answers and see results internally or externally of unknown origin. [LIST] [*]How bodies individually or collectively react is an art and not a science so certain results can come about that one may classify miracles for the lack of a better word (say I don’t understand). [*]However, the prayer cannot be banked on for a deliverable or a miracle nor one should be sought. [/LIST] [/LIST] So I asked waheguru to do this, this and that, how come nothing has happened? [LIST] [*]Waheguru is not intermediary [LIST] [*]Life is part of creation and living is through life [/LIST] [*]You prayed to and with congregation and or self [LIST] [*]Those are the only channels of action and result [/LIST] [/LIST] Just some thoughts. Sat Sri Akal. [/QUOTE]
