Your Every Thought is a Prayer:

(Translated in English from the original Hindi version from excerpt by Tejguru Sirshree Tejparkhiji)
Prayer a solution for all problems – Tejguru Sirshree Tejparkhiji
Man’s first cry, thirst for truth, starts with prayer. Every creature in the nature is living beautifully; there is no need for any type of prayer. Everything in nature in happening perfect. These creatures neither have negative nor positive thoughts. Man also had the same living, while he was in tune with nature. There wasn’t a necessecity for prayer but until the contrast mind (contemplating mind) arose, started the blunder – mistuning.
When Man started living against nature, circumstances happened, gave rise to troubles, worries and problems. There was never a worry or problems created in nature, but due to the inception of contrast mind these troubles, worries, and problems were created. Negative thoughts started with creation of these troubles, worries, and problems. Man started thinking a solution for his troubles, worries, and problems and his discovery lead to PRAYER.
Whenever there is a trouble, worry, or a problem, Man starts thinking for a solution to eliminate these. Is there any Power, which can eliminate these troubles, worries, and problems? These thoughts, these feelings that arise to get rid of troubles, worries, and problems take shape of a PRAYER. One day Man understands that there were some thoughts, some feelings created, and these took shape of a PRAYER. Suddenly, one day a big cry arose for HELP, and after some days his troubles, worries, and problems were dissolved. This cry for help was PRAYER. Let this cry ‘Oh God Please Help Me’ continue until troubles, worries, and problems are dissolved.
PRAYER is a state of mind, a means to interact (with feelings) with GOD. Prayer is a state of mind in the body of Man, which is created by faith. Whenever we feel the scarcity of something in life, we are empty for something, that’s when the thing enters into our life. Prayer takes Man to a Receptive state.
Everything is made available in Nature and every type of people. As and how a need is created in a body, that thing (need) starts attracting towards him. Prayer creates this Receptive state, wherein the thing we need, we desire, comes to us. Prayer is answer to the Question - how to get what you need? Everything can be obtained by prayer, but its important to understand how and to whom are you praying.
Always pray to the one who is ahead of you, is best, is Supreme. By doing so, there is a possibility of reaching there increases. Pray to the one, you admire the most, have the highest regard for. For example SELF, TRUTH, WITNESSER, LORD, GURU, NATURE, PRESENCE, SUPREME POWER, SELF CONCIOUS, GOD AT REST, etc., where one has faith, ‘Prayer is Supreme Power,’ which will work for me. It is important to have faith, feelings, and devotedness in a Prayer. By doing so, we receive; we get results, as we keep faith.
In every body, depending on each state, receive an answer to question How to Pray. Today supreme power like Prayer has lost its power due to some myths, wrong beliefs, dressings (flowers, candles, fragrance) not knowing real meaning behind these dressings. However, aim behind praying was to create that receptivity state in the person and let his faith increase. Faith is that power, which helps to bring anything and everything in your life. Hence it is said, conviction leads to results. Results are the reflection of the depth of conviction you have. Better the conviction, better the results. No conviction no results – and we say prayer has not yielded results, prayer is not being listened. Everyone has that conviction but until that conviction comes into action, it will not yield results.
Every one has differed conviction – Seeker, Devotee, Student, Housewife, Businessman, Saint Etc. If everyone is asked to pray in the same way, the results will not be the same. Different things may be imbibed to create the required conviction in each one of them. One may imbibe the required conviction by sitting in a particular posture, one may imbibe the same in a Church, Temple, or a Mosque, one may imbibe the same by remembering his Guru’s teachings.

You need to understand how your conviction is released. Doing in the manner which, or saying, using the words by which, the Bright Conviction is released is the best method of praying for you.
Many people feel and think that God knows everything then why should we pray? They are being told that ‘Yes God knows everything that’s why he is getting the Prayer done from you, i.e. the required Receptive state getting created to receive the things, information, answer you desire, wish, need or want. THAT’S WHY “PRAYER IS NOT A QUESTION BUT AN ANSWER.” (You are under a wrong impression its not you who is praying). He is getting the prayer done from you that itself means your prayer is been listened, prayer is been answered.
Do we need to pray everyday? Consciously or unconsciously, awarely or unawarely everyone is praying, hence the question doesn’t arise do we need to pray everyday. When one thinks of the word ‘Prayer’, one feels it’s only done with some unique words, distinctive sentences, typical posture, action, and time, but that’s not true. Prayer is always happening, everyone is praying. Ones every thought – knowingly or unknowingly, awarely or unawarely infact is a PRAYER. Every word, every thought is working as a Prayer. The desire, the wish appearing along with the words or thoughts work as a prayer. Only because not every thought or words are tuned, and focused, hence does not yield results. By this, it’s clear that your every thought is a prayer...
