So what do we pray for then?
Perhaps many things, but what struck me as I was sitting quietly yesterday was the following:
1. Clarity. We are faced with innumerable choices all the time. How do we know which decision to make? Which choice is right? Hence I would pray for clarity, in all aspects of life.
2. Protection. There is so much of negativity all around us. So much of anger and hate and ego and malice. Who is protecting us all the time, if not the grace of the Guru and the blessings of God?
But what do the self-realized souls pray for?
Simply for the well being and happiness of others, always!
