Come, Let Us Pray

"Philosophy sets our intellect free and allows us to see as God might see." Today this thought is hovering all around me. Personal well-being should give birth to collective well-being. Otherwise personal well-being is of little use. Come, let us pray for peace and happiness for everyone, for every living being on this mother earth. Let us pray that we remember the grace of the Almighty, once a day, and get connected with Him.

Let us pray that we may be able to set and keep us free from all narrow, personal aims and interests. Let us pray that we can set ourselves free from all ill-feelings, conflicts and anxieties. Let us pray that there is no lack of will power within us. Let us pray that we have the courage to know what is good for every living being on this earth.

Let us pray that we may set ourselves free from desires that keep us confined and imprisoned. Let us pray that we do not envy other people's success. Let us not forget that there are people suffering at various corners of the world. Let us pray that the less fortunate can live his life with dignity. Let us pray that everybody gets his due share, and there be no exploitation anywhere.

Let us pray that we do not mistake knowledge as a set of prejudices, habits and desires, and make an impenetrable veil between us and the outer world. Let us pray that ingratitude can never tarnish our character.

Let us pray that we be able to touch one another's heart with just a little bit of effort. Let us pray that our sense of wonder stays alive and we may be able to see familiar things in a new, unfamiliar, eternal light. Let us pray that truth, enlightenment and eternity reveal themselves in front of us. Let us pray that wisdom reigns supreme in our lives. May God keep everyone peaceful, happy and prosperous.
