A word on prayer

(noun, a solemn request for help)?
I put a '?' Mark deliberately.
Is it always help? Is it always mere wish? What is a prayer, then?
We pray every single day. A million times. At a million places. Whenever in trouble or feel like getting into one. What all do we pray for and to whom do we do this. Let's look upon closely. Yes God, the creator himself, the mind and soul of all is the one we target. My question is, is it necessary? Let's see.
Here are the most basic things we beg from the god WE have all created.

HEALTH
We eat chemical induced unhealthy, stale, stomach killing food and beg for good (great) health. Do u think God gave us this brilliant body with all its magnficance without giving it ,the power to fight diseases? The power to look after itself? The power to survive?

LONG LIFE
We live in a so called modernised world where competition rules our mind and stress, our body. We eat on each other's loss. We stump the hard working fellow down and try to pull ourselves up. Anger is in our air. Jealousy in our blood. Do u think all this can give you a long life just by demanding one in front of a deity?

WEALTH
We see money as our masters. Money goes, we follow. We are never tried running behind money. Just tired when running to burn the poison we stuff into ourselves. Happiness is no longer the key element. We were evolving well as humans until money came along. Do u think that god the one in everything and everyone sent us here to just experience what being rich feels like? Do u think he took all that effort creating this universe and being one with it while being nothing at the same time to just give us money?

All this is just the basic level of our child-like thinking.
So, what should we pray for?
Pray for knowledge. The knowledge of the inside. The truth that lies within us. That truth that connects everything. That truth that tells you why everything is just one and not different.
That truth, that is just the universe itself. This human body is like a water bubble made of the same thing it's surrounding is made of. The bubble is just a transparent covering. Once given this life of most intellectual species on this planet, seek. Seek for the truth. Seek for light, the sight that not every organism might see. Seek for yourself. Seek for God.

Perspective

A word on perspective Let's begin with the verbal meaning. Google gives me the meaning 'A point of view'. What it really means is a wholly complicated yet a very simple science. We live a life on continuous survival and comfort finding skills. We have a different world in our mind which decides what we see what decides what we listen and also decides what we will conclude from everything. That  world in our mind was developed as we grew along with our parents,siblings,neighbours, teachers,animals,plants etc. This world of ours is like a cheese coating over the bread which is our mind. This cover does all our jobs while the mind sits lazy. This 'world' of our mind is just a cluster of memories we gather from the moment we come out of the womb. A baby's first reaction to stimuli is a shout and then a cry because those are the 2 sounds it listens while it is being delivered. The 'world' of ours begins right there. The first smile is picked u...

Feminism (in my MOTHER land)

Feminism. A word that is flashing all over social media and if you still haven't put your head down and tried to understand what it means, here you go, 'equal rights to women as men'. The law is blind (or is just too ignorant). It says all humans are equal before the law and yet, men, somehow sneak in their dominance in one odd way. (*caughing* Salman Khan). Let's dig into the point deeper. Equal rights are theoretically served to both sexes. In a country like India, men have distributed rights and freedom to women in their own religious ways. This act of pushing down women has been there since the earliest times and with an honest determination have men carried it on, to be so. The world spins around and societies change as well. This oppression is now very slowly, being pushed away by the urban women. we read tweets saying "Kudos! alas! you go girls! #girlpower" hmph. really? is this oppression being really taken off? Are we finally going to see a harmo...
