Answer 1

Often one comes across people who, even as they sit at prayer, are constantly interspersing it with household instruction — to the spouse, children or staff. Others attend to phone calls even as they pray.

Some try to pray during bath time to save time before leaving for work. They would probably argue that they cannot help this: it is part of the pressures of modern life. However, if something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. This dictum applies to prayer more than to any other everyday activity.

Kabir ridicules the practice of such multitasking: “Mechanical fingers turn the beads; the tongue rolls inside the mouth; the fickle mind wanders all over: Oh! this isn’t simran — not at all!’ Our problem arises because of an unclear understanding of the function of prayer. Prayer, as Kabir indicates, is simran, meaning communion, or a simulation of it. The Srimad Bhagavatam supports this view: “Religion is not for the purpose of securing a place in heaven. It is an inquiry into Truth, and its ideal is the knowledge and the realisation of Truth”.

Simran is the process of self-identification, of recognising the essential unity, nondifferentiation, self-expansion. This is not an intellectual idea that once grasped, sticks for ever. It is a matter of spiritual activation that is ideally done everyday, preferably at appointed hours. Hindu tradition recommends prayer at the three sandhyas or transitional hours when night shifts into day, when day turns past noon, and when evening fuses into night. Islam identifies five times for prayer.

Such prayer is essentially meditation >>

Such prayer is essentially meditation. It detoxifies the mind and sharpens memory and thought. Time spent on prayer pays back manifold during the day through enhanced efficiency at work.

To reduce prayer to a session of pleading your wants before God is to corrupt it, even though it is possible that things you ask for during prayer often get answered. Making prayer into a thanksgiving session is better. The best, however, is to keep it as a session of reaffirmation of your bond with the One, the All. This is the same as making it a session of humility and surrender.

Since prayer is essentially meditation and a session of spiritual activation, it cannot form part of multitasking. The necessary focus is upset by any attempt to mix prayer with other chores. The activation fails. Prayer time should be exclusive. As tradition says, you should first complete your ablutions, sit down comfortably in a neat place, relax your body and mind, close your eyes and allow your spirit to activate.

Having said all this, the reverse truth must also be stated. The purpose of the practice of daily activation of the spirit is to so cultivate it as to render further daily activation unnecessary. This is the essence of sanyasa: where your mind is fixed in the One at all times, waking or sleeping, working or idle. Meditation then is not an activity that you ‘do’ at appointed hours; it transforms into a state of creative consciousness you are permanently established in.

You may do anything, or you may not do anything; nothing that you do or choose not to do can disable your active spirit. Multitasking is not only possible then, it becomes a normal way of life. Such a person is then a nityabhiyukta, one who is always praying. According to Narada, this is the true state of bhakti.

Religion is not important in the study. Person may be in any religion if he is willing to do something, he wants to achieve his goal he /she can. Prayer's role is important i.e. to concentrate on what we do. We get engery to do from universal power. In Prayers that I believe Universal Power and that power gives us to think positively.
