An Effective Prayer Poem by Mamta Agarwal

For those embarking on
An internal life to meet the demands of the soul,
Withdraw to the sanctuary within, and sit
And pray fine tuned to your intuition.

Who says you have to renounce the world
And go seek him like a wanderer?
Just make a sincere journey inward
To quench this thirst and hunger.

You have reached a turning point,
When nothing any longer makes sense.
He will not disappoint
If you give up all pretence.

He is no unfeeling, mute being,
He is Love itself.
You don’t have to plead
Flatter, make offerings or supplicate.

The secret of effective prayer
Lies in changing your equation,
From that of a beggar
To a Child of God, you are no orphan.

You must know what you want,
Although we reap what we sow.
Somewhere, sometime in the past,
We may have broken some natural law.

We are all equal in the eyes of Him,
Who gave us power to reason
And freedom of choice and will.
All we have to do is to bring,

Our actions in harmony with Divine Law
And pray with affirmations without flaw.
