Holding my thoughts, I prayed a second before scribbling. I am
not a devotee who fixes time for prayers and sit in front of lighted lamps with
closed eyes. Mostly those who do all these might not be able to concentrate for
the whole time being. Their mind would wander through all gossips they have
listened to for the whole day.
My concept of prayer is serene and quiet. I can do it even
while having a piece of watermelon. It is just a divine communication between
me and the Almighty. For that I need no hymns or music. In fact silence is what
I love during prayers. Also I don’t believe that dumping money in devotional
places will please God and would give extra blessings. Instead, give it poor
people. At least offer them money for a meal. Or else, give food and water to
birds and animals. Similarly, water plants that are about to die. Everything
around you is creation of God. Life is about offering little things that could delight
others. That’s the true devotion I believe.
