Something to Think About

The One who made the creation, the One who takes care of all living beings, is inside us. Guru Amar Das asks us: Who is it who fulfils all our daily needs? Wherever a soul is in a body, the Lord is there, providing it with sustenance every day. People say, “We plant the crops and do all the hard work, so how does the Lord come into it?” But I say, “If there weren’t any sun, how would your crops grow? Scientists have experimented with this. So now tell me, what would your efforts achieve in that case?”
_{Maharaj Jagat Singh, Discourses on Sant Mat, Vol. II}

No one should give the answer that it is impossible for a man occupied with worldly cares … to pray always. Everywhere, wherever you may find yourself, you can set up an altar to God in your mind by means of prayer. And so it is fitting to pray at your trade, on a journey, standing at the counter or sitting at your handicraft … By the power of the invocation of the Name of God, one would come to know from experience that frequency of prayer, this sole means of salvation, is a possibility for the will of man.
_{Saint John Chrysostom, as quoted in Living Meditation}
