祈禱

 
祈禱
祈禱是自發的,在兩種時刻發生;當你非常感恩時,是在表達自己的感恩,以及當你完全無助時,是在求助。

祈禱是自發的,你無法培養,你能做的頂多是回顧自己的生命,了解過去在哪裡,以及至今如何進展;或者,看看別人的生命,並了知世間上有多少人是痛苦的,而自己是何等幸運!這種微細的覺知會讓你變得虔誠或感恩。
⋯⋯
祈禱是開始,靜心是極致。祈禱是感謝上帝所賜與的一切,而靜心只是在那兒,傾聽上帝述說的話。靜心是一種成熟的祈禱方式。
~古儒吉大師~

Prayer is a spontaneous thing. It happens on two occasions, when you are very grateful, and you are expressing your gratitude. And when you are totally helpless, and you beg for help.
Prayer just happens, you cannot cultivate it. At the most what you can do is, look back at your own life and see where you were and how you have moved. Alternatively, look at other people’s lives and see how many people on this planet are miserable, and how fortunate you are! This gentle awareness will make you prayerful or thankful.

Prayer is the beginning, and meditation is its culmination. Prayer is thanking God for all that is given, and meditation is to be there, ready to listen to what God is saying. Meditation is a matured form of prayer.
~Sri Sri Ravi Shankar~
