Inspiration to Pray

We the humans are born with body and soul. The human life can be completedly fullfilled by meeting the needs of both the body and soul. The body is temporary but the sould lasts for ever. We feed our body with various things....things that satisfy the body's desires...good food...exercices...holidays...comfortable weather...materials and gadgets...utilisation of technology....and everything else that satisfy the needs and desires of the body.

What do we need to do to meet our souls' satisfaction? It is very important to reflect on it to identify the needs of the soul. Through prayer and reflection, we can recognize the desires of the soul. The body always responds through instincts, but soul remain silent, unless it is intentionally enlightened. Prayer gives such an enlightnement as well as does good talks, vieos and retreats. We need to engage in prayer at least a couple of  hours a day to feed our souls.  If the desires of the body are suppressed or limited, we can concentrate on the desires of the souls. Once the soul experience that satisfaction, we will realize that the satisfaction of the body is less important. This realisation will help us to grow in spirituality and it will guide us to save our souls for eternal life.
