Spiritual Elevation

Prayer gives peace of mind and inward serenity, which results in an elevation of the spirit. Man's soul grows immensely and reaches a pinnacle of glory where it is in direct communion with the Lord. Faith in the existence of God, and love for God, are essential prerequisites of such an elevated state of consciousness. When we are spiritually elevated, feelings of fear, isolation, and inferiority are vanquished. Our happiness and joy know no boundaries.

In this state, everything seems welcoming and comforting. There is a set plan where nothing is wasted, nothing falls apart, nobody suffers, no one is exploited, and each is cast in the mold of God. To experience such bliss, one must enter the domain of God-consciousness. To know this, to feel this in one's heart and soul, is to arrive at the destination that all of us long to be: communion with the Creator.

We see the world in a whole new light. We begin to understand that all the things that we thought were the cause of anxiety were being perceived wrongly by us. Now, viewed in the proper perspective and context, they do not seem to be hostile at all. They are, instead, useful and an immensely significant part of the scheme of things, embodying the Divine, as we ourselves embody the Divine. Our fears are seen as extensions of our own persona, and there is no justification in fearing a part of one's own self. We feel united with our former fears and welcome what was once threatening for we are no longer afraid.

Those who never attain spiritual elevation awake in the morning with a troubled heart, full of unnamed fears and vague anxieties on our minds, relating to barely remembered dreams. It lies heavy on our hearts, so that we have difficulty stirring ourselves from a desolate lethargy. We look deep into the eyes and faces of our loved ones only to find that we are unable to help them.
