This blog is a serious effort to help others realize that they have within them the birthless, deathless spirit that has always been and will always be. The author expects seriousness and sincerity from the reader. He expects that co-operation that the believer should at all times be ready to extend. If,however, you are prone to mock at man’s serious duty. If you expect to be entertained, amused or beguiled, my best advice is that you read no further. Close this page, for there will be no joy in it for you. But, if you have faith; if you believe in the Divinity of Humankind, if you believe in the joys of life eternal, if the Celestial symphony sings in your heart.

READ ON. THE TRUTH IS FOR YOU.

PANIMULA

       
        At pagka kayo ay nagsisidalangin, ay huwag kayong gaya ng mga nagpapaibabaw: sapagkat inibig nilaang magsidalangin ng patayo sa mga sinagoga at sa mga likuang daan,  upang silay mangakita ng mga tao. Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Tinanggap na nila ang sa kanila’y ganti.

       Datapuwa’t ikaw, pagka ikaw ay manalangin, pumasok ka sa iyong silid, at kung mailapat mo na ang iyong pinto, ay manalangin ka sa iyong Ama na nasa lihim, at ang iyong Ama na nakakikita sa lihim  ay gagantihan ka.

      At sa pananalangin ninyo ay huwag ninyong gamitin ang walang kabuluhang pauli-ulit, na gaya ng ginagawa ng mga Gentil: sapagkat inisip nilang dahil sa kanilang maraming kasasalita ay didinggin sila.

      Huwag nga kayong magsigaya sa kanila: sapagkat talastas ng inyong Ama ang mga bagay na inyong kinakailangan, bago ninyo hingin sa kanya.

     In these words, handed down to us from the Master, it is the Magic Formula for Succesful Prayer.

      It can be yours if you apply the principles that it gives forth to all.

      For prayer, and particularly Successful Prayer, is not the mumbling of well-remembered words, nor the frenzied mouthing of strange words in a moment of panic, nor the asking of fantastic favors.

      It is rather man’s sincere desire. The manifestation of the bond that exists between the Creator and the created. It is meeting God, knowing God, talking to God, becoming one with God.
