Promise of the Goddess on seeing Earth

AS Badge 10
My heart is dusty as a desert,
Dust do’th settle on a despairing heart;
My mind is arid and dry,
Parched for want of the dew of selfless thoughts;
A thick sediment is laying on my body,
My struggles are feeble, my pores are choked.
I lie encased in the fetid filth of unbounded greed,
Yet my concern empowers me.
I must bathe in the fresh fountains of life
And breathe the pure air of truth
To inspire the human soul and heal this earth,
Else the recompense of greed shall be filth,
And the reward of dust shall be dust.

Before you go, think about this…

Prayer is not a practice of devout Jains, but Jain laymen pray nevertheless. Prayer is thought helpful for those of average devotion even though it is not thought to be answered by any god. It is because it is a form of Couéism, self-conditioning and so can be helpful in some circumstances. According to Coué, we are dominated by our imaginations. If we think we are ill, or unable to achieve something, then we become ill and we shall fail. Educating the imagination to visualize what is desired helps us to achieve it. Prayer can help in this process. Praying for something can bring a positive feeling that it will be so, and that can make it so. It will seem as if God has answered the prayer, but, in fact, it has drawn upon an inner conviction. Prayer and visualization must be positive, not negative. Dr G J Jordan actually accepts that some prayer succeeds by auto-suggestion. A survey of Christians showed that about a quarter believed God would change a decision to answer a prayer. About a third thought he would not, but, like the Jains, they prayed anyway.
