Prayer

Prayer
  • The prayer is an effort of the human soul to be connected permanently with God.
  • It is enough to direct your mind toward God to receive a part of the common welfare.
  • When you wake up early in the morning, first you should think about the Divine world, the rational world, where there are no contradictions. It is situated at the top of the head. Send blood upward at that place. Then start thinking about that mental world, where all scholars have been concentrating their mind on.
  • If you do not think about God for a long time you cannot have an achievement.
  • When you walk into your secret room, the room of your mind, you should leave your usual anxieties and troubles, do not bring them into the house of your inner life.
  • Just as we need to improve our breathing in this world by artificial methods, likewise, we should do prayers in the Spiritual world.
  • Some people say that the human heart is spoiled and consequently there is nothing to be preserved. It’s true, but when a person is converted to God, the heart is renovated.
  • Reconcile yourself with God, nothing more.

 

Cogitation. The sacred hour
  • Everyone, who wants to be a disciple, should define a sacred hour for work. That sacred hour could be either in the morning, or in the afternoon, or in the evening. During that time you should be in deep cogitation, in order to manage all difficulties that stand in your way. When the hour of cogitation passes you should feel encouraged, refreshed, with a pure heart in order to spend the rest time of the day with new strength.
  • There is a definite sacred hour for every disciple. This hour could be one and the same for several disciples. When you are in that hour, a great thought or some sublime feeling will come in the mind of everyone – on the whole, enlightenment will come into you.
