When i was a child, my mom told me that prayers should be done only in temples, looking at the statues, and speak to them loud and clear.
When i grow up a little, people told me that prayers can be heard only in places of worships, through verbally.
There were so many questions popping out, but nobody can answer me.
It took me quite a while to figure these out through my teachers and self- experience. That the holy place is nowhere other than our own body (health).
We need not pick auspicious dates, because any day is auspicious.
We need not need to travel on roads, when we just need to travel inwards.
We need not need to speak a word out of our mouth, because the word of prayer is an unspoken language, its a private conversation.
We need not make any appointment, because we can be in touch within anytime, anywhere.
We need not draw motivation from others, because we have a reservoir of strength inside us to tap on.
Many misunderstood that holy places are bricks and cemented buildings only; and miracles happens only in there. External buildings are an extended and representation of what we already have. Like how we want to keep the places of worship clean and serene; we should too keep our own little temple ( body) clean, healthy and serene for us to live in:)
"The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in."
