I often used to think

There was a time when I used to pray -
O' God - Please feed the hungry, cover the naked, and provide shelter to the homeless. 
Please take away everyone's sufferings and problems.

But Now I pray for guidance to do what I am supposed to do.
Now I pray for strength to do what I can do to make any difference.

I used to think that Ardas and prayer will change things and circumstances around us.
But now I know that Prayers are supposed to change us - change our thoughts and views - 
and we are supposed to try to change the things we can.
Because it's the actions that bring the change - not just the talks.

Therefore, Now I pray to the Almighty 
To give me the courage to change the things I can  
Serenity to accept the things I can not change - 
and the wisdom to know the difference.

  3. Dhan Nirankar. My favorite.
    I had seen the serenity prayer in Kuala Lumpur at age 24 when I went for ECFMG and it was in my office for 40 years and now in the Mandir with the Gods.
    I believe in prayers and doing right but wisdom for acceptance is the hardest still.🙏🙏🙏

    1. Yes Sudha ji - This is an excellent prayer. I found it sometimes in 1990s and it has been close to my heart since then and I have posted it few times on my earlier blogs as well

  5. And finally there are people or saints, they are so well connected with Almighty Lord Nirankar, they have achieved such a deep state of mind where there is no thinking, just surrenderance and saying: Tere bhane sarvat da bhala;
    Jo tujh bhave so hi bhali kar...

    *मैं काबिल नहीं . . .*

    *' तेरा शुकराना कैसे अदा करूँ मेरे मालिक . .*

    *ना मिट्टी मेरी , ना रूह मेरी बोल क्या अर्पण करूँ*
    🙏सुप्रभात 🙏 Dhan Nirankar ji 🙏
