Teach me to pray

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

For todays inspirational post.....lets ask waheguru to teach us to pray

Please teach me, Lord ...

I want to know

Exactly how to pray.

I need some words

Which ones are right?

Please tell me what to say.

I've bowed my head

I have knelt down,But ...

should I be upright?

I've closed my eyes,

I've raised my hands,Or ...

should I fold them tight?

Do I stand up?

Should I sit down?

Dear Lord ... what do you like?

Are lights turned on

Or are they off?Maybe ...

candle light?

Wear my glasses?

Take them off?

Be at my desk or table?

Should I whisper?

Speak out loud?

Do I quote the holy books?

What do you think about the time?

Do You prefer the dawn?

Should I pray fast,

Or keep it slow?

Better short ... or long?

I'm new at this

What are the rules?

I want to do it right.

How do I know

You'll even hear

That I am in Your sight?

And while I sat there quietly,

Waiting for some sign,

I heard a gentle voice say,

"Oh, dearest child of mine ...

Do you think I really care

About the time of day,

Or whether you are standing up,

Or kneeling when you pray?"

"I don't care about your posture,

Or about the place you choose;

Just open up your soul to me,

I have no other rules.

Tell me what is in your heart,

And tell me what you seek;

Tell me of your sorrows,

And of those things that made you weak."

"Speak to me in private

About what concerns you most;

I know about your good deeds ...

You have no need to boast.

My child, you don't need lessons,

Just talk to me each day;

Tell me anything you want, dear child,

Anyone can pray."

    • back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc    nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.    
    • i live close by and yea all the gurudwarehs around these parts are run down it’s sad
    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
