What is Praying ?

A child asked God, "How should I pray so you would listen to my prayers?"

God responded, "It's very easy to pray. Pray in the order of the fingers of your hand.

Your thumb is the nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closet to you. They are easiest to remember . To pray for loved ones is a sweet duty.

The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach,instruct and heal. This includes teachers and doctors and saints. They need wisdom and support for guiding others. Keep them in your Prayers.

The next finger is the longest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, the leaders in the society and industry, and the administrators. These people shape our nation and guide​ public  opinion. They need guidance. 

The fourth finger is the ring finger. It is the weakest finger. Therefore, it reminds us of those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. 

And lastly, comes the little finger; of smallest finger of all. It is here that you should place yourself in relation to Me and others. It reminds you to pray for yourself. After praying for all others it will become easy for you to pray for yourself. 

*We should remember and pray for those who have given us love, care, guidance and support. We should also pray for those who are selflessly working for the sake of others, as well as for those who are suffering. In this way we develop a heart full of compassion. Such a heart easily softens as we pray for ourselves.This was the way the great devotee, prahlad, prayed for the welfare of all living beings.*
