[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 166865, member: 16886"] Harryji, It's fine to feel the way you do. Saying that, I knew like Ishna ji that you would try to topsy turvy the issue. But, I do actually understand and did at one time agree with all you said. I have in all honesty felt this same way where I would hear someone saying 'I'm praying for you or praying for them...etc..' -I too would get a little irritated and think to myself, cut the crap- are you really praying from your heart and why even mention it, just shut up and do it then!!! However, like I said earlier, about this time last year, I was in a very,very critical situation where I was in a coma for nearly a whole month. All that everyone could do was simply hope, that I came around OK, even if it meant being somewhat dysfunctional, they just wanted me to be ALIVE at my age with my young family. Trust me, when you are in a coma-you don't know about praying for yourself, infact you only know that you were in such a state if and after you come around. It's what everyone tells you and then you realise that all these weeks are just missing from your life, and you were just lay there breathing through a ventilator and life support that was the only sign of living life.-(the bleeps on the monitors) Before such an experience, my view too would have been similar to yours. But when you come around and you wonder what everyone you know was doing, it's VERY COMFORTING to be told that you were in their thoughts and prayers. In fact, It NEVER EVER occured to me that yes, it's their prayers that saved me, no not at all. That is NOT the point. All along, I knew that it was the lord's will, it's his hands that saved me. To hear and learn that everyone stopped in their tracks maybe just for a moment or two just to say 'waheguru' whilst their thoughts were on my well being is ALL you need to hear to comfort and reassure you at that moment when you are just wondering- [I]'why is this happening or why has[/I] [I]it happened?' - [/I]BECAUSE, believe me, that is ALL that the patient or the one in need is actually thinking. Infact, I cannot even imagine how upset I would have been if no one had given a second thought or a moment to wish me better. I mean, many of them did say that it was all in the creators hands, but they didn't mean that this meant they didn't need to wish or pray for me, just because they were powerless compared to the Lord. What I learned was, to give a few moments of thought and prayer for the one you care about in their moment of need is a NICE way to SIMPLY EXPRESS YOUR LOVE. It doesn't mean hours of ardaas and paath, just whatever makes one comfortable, [I]even if it's just saying 'waheguru' once.[/I] After my experience, I know that when someone asks me or says -to pray for such and such, In effect all they are asking me is - if I love this person, then I should allocate a few moments of my thoughts to their well-being. You can call it prayer or you can call it what ever you want. BUT, it's not going to make me think twice, ever. It's no commitment or ritual, just a very informal way of sending my love.
