Full video: Which is the best god to pray to? || Acharya Prashant (2020)

Transcript

00:00The mind is its own best friend and own worst enemy.

00:05Your best friend and your worst enemy are not at all outside of you.

00:10Since you are all and everything, therefore your friend is within you, so is your enemy.

00:15Why do the gods have diverse names as have the demons?

00:20Because there are various kinds of forces within that help you.

00:25And there are various kinds of forces within that drown you, sink you, depress you.

00:31There are gods within, but there are others as well.

00:34And they are not quite as godly.

00:36And hence the prayer is needed.

00:38And hence praying always contains power.

00:42Praying is not wish fulfillment.

00:44When you pray to someone else, it's not that someone else will come to help you.

00:48When you pray, you are actually preparing yourself to be a better friend to yourself.
