BE OPEN AND PRAY

If we want to live sadhak-life by the grace of God, we have to be completely open with natural ease in and with the mind and heart. There are many layers of prakruti within us that are not opened and taken care of yet and at the same time more is being collected in the recesses. The starting point of the of the sadhana-life of the sadhak needs to be with being completely open from all angles (with the spirit, intention and sincerity). He would offer all that is going on in his life at Thy lotus feet with self narration (આત્મનિવેદન). He would pray to God with humility, heartfelt sincerity and repeatedly at the time when he fails to behave appropriately as per his sadhana-life. He becomes aware of his shortcomings and asks for grace and constructive help in those situations. True sadhak understands the real importance of prayers automatically in his heart. For him prayers are like a child getting life support from his mother. He gets into the spirit of the prayers at any sign of a problem. There is no other easier path than this for the development of the life of a sadhak. Sadhak will definitely experience direct help at the time of any puzzling problem, difficulties and mental disturbances in his life if he has been open completely with heartfelt sincerity and natural ease. He needs to be ready to receive the grace of God by being introspective and open to Him with love, devotion and wisdom.
