Will and Prayer – The Unfailing Combination
So understand, decide that intensely you will awaken the yearning, seeking. Nothing else needs to be done. All you need to do is just feel, 'I should become enlightened. I should have that fulfillment. I should go beyond this state. I should go to the ultimate state. I should achieve my peak. I should see the fulfillment in me.'
And once upon a time, you had. That is why you even think of fulfillment. If you never had, why will you think about it? Like in the case of health, because you had health, if you have a headache you want to come out of it. In the same way, the moment you want to come out of this situation, it means at some time you experienced fulfillment.
So be very clear, you can't say, 'I never had fulfillment.' The very knowing about unfulfillment proves that there is fulfillment. Sometimes, you do see the glimpse. So the strong feeling connection to achieve fulfillment, to experience fulfillment is what I call the ultimate technique.
People again and again ask, 'How to create that seeking?' Nothing, just create a strong will, 'I should become fulfilled.' Actually if you don't believe any higher force like guru or God, create a strong will. If you believe a higher force, create a strong prayer.
Strong will always becomes a strong prayer. Strong prayer always creates a strong will. 'Let me become fulfilled' if it is towards your being, it is a will. If it is towards a higher being, it is a prayer. Understand, 'Let me become fulfilled', if you are telling to yourself, it is a will. Sometimes you feel telling to yourself is not working. Then you tell higher beings like guru or God. That is called prayer.
