Prayer
This Month's Reflection on Healing
Dear friends,
Herewith I have the privilege of asking for your attention to the following beautiful words of Hazrat Inayat Khan:
“Prayer is a wonderful means of healing oneself and another; for concentration only, without the thought of God is powerless, it is the divine ideal which strengthens the healing power, which gives it a living spirit. Therefore a spiritual healer has more hope of success than a material healer. For the material healer directs his own thought, however powerful it may be, it is limited by his own personality; but the spiritual healer, who in the thought of God and His divine power forgets himself, has much greater success than the former. It does not matter what form one has in prayer, sincere prayer in every form will bring a fruitful result.
Prayer, really speaking, is the contemplation of God’s presence, Who is the power and origin of the whole creation, and considering himself as nothing before Him, and placing the wish which stands before our personality, before the Almighty. Therefore, naturally, the result must be incomparably greater, though it depends upon the contemplation of every individual.”
(From the Sufi Message volume IV: page 86)
Let us be aware of our possibilities. As said in the “Vadan”: “Verily, every atom sets in motion each atom of the universe!” May our prayers reach far and wide and support many people!
With heartiest greetings,
Sattva.
