Worship is a concentration for attaining a goal. If
somebody engages himself to worship leaving all his envies, his desires are
fulfilled. A daily worship brings concentration of mind and purifies a heart.
Worship is a psycho-physical positive act. The total process is comprised of
material and immaterial worshipper, object of worship and continuous
unjustified total process and the unified relation of these three things is
worship. As a result the flow of that desire is not nullified by any stimulus,
a better prejudice is created, even those thoughts go on through dreams.
Everybody has the equal right for worship. Personal freedom is needed
concerning religious prayer. Worship and religious activities remove negative
tendencies and ill motives of a person. Wholehearted, honest and positive
worship bring tranquility. Worship is the best act of all acts, if thought and
determination are there, gradually mind will be calm, quiet and concentrated.
On honest belief in the existence of Allah and meditation bring mental peace. A
man should try to know himself, austerity is necessary for it. During worshipping
Allah, we should feel that he is present infront of us. It feels deep
tranquility. Prayers, worshipping and doing good deeds are the basic principles
of fully flourishment of a person. To follow some of religious restrictions and
to recite some religious verses, are never a worship. Worship from heart is the
real worship. The absolute dependence, highly repentance and the total melted
state of heart is worship. Excessive education is better than excessive worship
and self-control is the backbone of religion. Worship with devotion. Physical
and mental surrender and urge for an imperishable and eternal life is worship.
Food is for satisfaction and full-fledged flourishment of body, likewise
practice of worship is necessary for mind. Like a body, a mind is also attacked
by diseases its medicine is prayer. The prayer which is due to fear of seniors,
society, shameness, hell or being compelled or to relief of burden is useless
it does not give any release or peace. Real peace or salvation comes through
the prayer which is done with concentration belief and love. Prayer is
tough but not for the devotees. Those who know that they will have to go
back to the creator. Hypocrites cheat
with Allah and Allah also returns the same to them. When they say prayers say it
as a showmanship and they don’t remember Allah. A hypocrite says his prayers
for showing other only, says it hurriedly and without any sincerity at all. If
somebody fully concentrate himself to prayer, his mental tensions as well as
all troubles will be relieved. Prayers in a lonely place creates softness in
the heart and the mind is concentrated. Which is helpful for granting a prayer.
Prayer removes sins. Prayer makes a man diligent, strong and self-confident. He
who purifies himself, succeeds. Only Allah can change a soul, guides him whom
he wants. It is essential to learn the etiquettes of prayers as well as that of
society. In every religion, there are some people, who are followed by common
people. So, a prayer should be such as it is understandable by all. So that
illiterate and ignorant people can also follow the wise men and can be
educated. The object of prayer is to control the conducts of the common people.
A prayer without devotion and meditation is useless. A man whose heart is full
of love of Allah, can do any daring act without any fear, he is fit to do
anything, remains cheerful and free from worries. To help the creatures of
Allah, is the best prayer. Pray to Allah in such a way as if the ray of Allah
is seen if front of you. Worship is meant for peace of mind. Outward worship
and to send a child to school promising to give a chocolate are the same. As a
man gets education and attains mental development by studying in a school,
likewise a soul is developed by a deep worship. Mental status, way and
integrality of a man is countable regarding worship. Sound and symbol are the
basis of worship. The way of worship is everyday one is to sit down properly
without moving his body, should not imagine anything to be present infront of
him, with full concentration and reciting the religious verses silently. Men
creates a large field of welfare with meditation. Anger or sex break up that
meditation and spoils the result of the meditation within a moment. What is far
away, what is to be worshipped from away and what is situated far, are all
gained by meditation. So, even a far distance can be crossed by meditation.
Music, women, lust, whether, gentle breeze, greed, wine and wealth deviates a
person from piousness. Sanctity, simplicity, freedom from malice are the
physical worships. Truthfulness and sweet words are verbal worships. Positive,
neutral and equality are the mental asceticism. A devotee gets a result
according to his devotion. There are four kinds of devotee those are regular,
natural, special and ceremonial. Worship is of three kinds- Verbal and
physical, financial and secret. Religious formalities are divided into three
parts- physical, verbal and mental. There are three kinds of religious devotees
those are passionless, passionfull, salvationer. Strange, complexity,
destruction, great these four mental situation are created at different stages
of meditation. Meditation has two parts. One to hold and another to set free.
To remain firm somewhere and to be liberal somewhere else. Firstly, a man struggles
against poverty, secondly he struggles for wealth and lastly he wants to
sacrifice. Only austerities can satisfy the thirst of a heart. Only efforts for
going closer to Allah through work can satisfy the thirst of a thirsty man, can
console a mourner and can encourage a frustrated man. There are hundreds of
examples in the world that father of a dead son, a mourning mother and a broken
hearted man get rid of all pains by reciting the Holy Quran or by saying prayer
or by visiting a Holy place. Assign the existence of Allah with all of you.
Worship Allah in the best way. And carry out all your activities according to
his order and instructions. Men cannot accept a mere ideological ideology. Men
had never worshipped stone as a stone and tree as a tree. In fact, men had
never worshipped anything except an entity about which he felt. During worship,
if somebody does not keep any idol infront, he can imagine the appearance of
Allah according to his choice. Religion is to made as an integral part of a man's
daily activities. Austerity is the practices of some formalities for
purification of the soul. At all stages of austerity and salvation, company of
an honest man or obedience to a religious teacher is very much necessary, even
after salvation. Obey your religions
teacher, learn religious lessons from him, serve him, worship your lord, visit
the religious teachers, sacrifice all enjoyments, fast, avoid evil company and
don't make too much disciples. We should avoid studying controversial books,
arts and to explain them, should not be much emotional due to gain or loss,
subject to grief, mourn, should not criticize other’s religions as well as
there sacred books, should not listen to the rumors, hurt anybody mentally with
our words, should listen to and recite religious books, should remember Allah,
should worship, praise him, should look after our servants and friends, should
visit religious centers, should be benevolent, meditate, serve mankind, observe
religious duties cheerfully, should always try to follow religious instructions
properly, should accompany pious man and call Allah by his different names. A
seed collects its food from many chemicals but the tree grows according to its
nature. Acquiring knowledge about permanent and temporary matters, not being
greedy for enjoyment in this world and the world hereafter, controlling mind
and sense organs, faith in Allah, are the integral parts of religious
austerity. Reading religious books regularly through religious directed
activity and companying with honest person, by regular prayer and meditation,
the real rectification of heart is achieved. It is better to read the holy
books by oneself and try to understand its meanings. Pious men pass their days
by reading the holy Quran in morning,
Hadith at non and books on religious philosophy at night. During your
leisure at the end of a day, make a routine for listening to religious sayings.
