Prayer and Work
Prayer Power, poem by Remigius de Souza, Mumbai |
Prayer Power
Prayer when becomes Work
Nature becomes ugly liability.
Work when becomes Prayer
Nature becomes supreme serenity.
***
Why to pray in the first place?
To what purpose is a prayer addressed?
To who is it addressed?
Is a prayer an offering?
Then what is offered in a prayer?
1) Is it an offering of Words (Mantra?) or an Act of Sacrifice (of something or someone else)?
2) Or, Is a prayer asking for / an application to an authority for a favour in return of an offering?
Could I be an authority and the devotee?
Could I be an offering and the sacrifice at the same time?
(Here, Nature that is within and outside, both; Nature is not merely greenery. There is no need for initiation by any guru to follow and practice work, any work, as a prayer.
It is indeed a way out of conflict/s within a person, between persons, or groups, or between Man and Nature.)

Prayer, as you say, could be without words, in any work -- cooking, eating, feeding... Indeed a new way of prayer!!
