The way the prayers addressed to God get fulfilled even without His involvement
Should we not believe only such things which may be believable?
Most of the people who pray to God when they are in trouble; believe that the entity which should have created the universe may be fulfilling the prayers addressed by them to Him; though the fact is — it is well-nigh not at all possible for the creator of the universe to take any action on the prayers anybody may address to Him due to the following reason.
Is it not true that when we pray to God — we, generally, pray in our mother tongue?
And do you have an idea — in how many languages the people living on the Earth converse with each other?
They converse in as many as around 7000 different languages.
If the creator of the universe may be listening the prayers of everybody; does it not imply that He should be familiar with as many as 7000 languages in which people living on the Earth converse with each other?
The fact is — such belief has trickled down from the days when everybody thought that the Earth may be the only habitable planet of the universe.
But is it not true that Earth is not bigger than even a speck as compared to the size of the universe — as shown in the following picture?
Though you may argue that it should be possible for the entity for whom it should have been possible to create such a big universe to be familiar with as many as 7000 languages; if you think so — you may be quite mistaken to think so because of the following reason.
Here is a rough estimate of the number of the Earth-like planets expected to exist in the universe.
Rough estimate of the number of the Earth-like planets expected to exist in the universe
The Milky Way, our own galaxy, is estimated to contain about 100 to 400 billion stars as per https://poe.com/s/U1Ko3JEU8eGTnyee4Ky0 and there are likely over 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, which could mean — there are around 250 billion trillion stars in total.
Studies suggest that nearly every star has at least one planet and be it so — there should be around 250 billion trillion planets in the universe.
The estimates suggest that 20–50% stars may have a planet in what is called a “habitable zone” and 10–20% of the planets in the habitable zones may have conditions suitable for life.
Be it so, it suggests that there could be billions of habitable planets in our galaxy alone; and potentially — trillions, across the entire universe.
If we may assume that only half of the inhabitants of such planets may be praying to the creator of the universe and instead of 7000 languages, the inhabitants of each such planet may be conversing only in 5000 languages on an average — how many trillion languages the creator of the universe is supposed to be familiar with if He may be lending an ear to the prayers being addressed to Him on all such planets!
It only leads us to conclude that either there should be as many Gods who listen to the prayers of the inhabitants of all such planets or instead of any God or Gods, only our subconscious mind may be listening our prayers and may be trying to fulfill them at its level.
But if it may not be possible for it to fulfill any prayer — it may be passing on such prayer to our soul.
Though our soul may be trying to fulfill such prayers — if it may not be possible for it to fulfill it; it may be transmitting such prayers to some other soul in the same way as the soul of Dr Joseph Murphy the renowned author of the book “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind”, seems to have transmitted his prayers to the soul of his sister who lived in UK though he lives in USA.
Before commenting on the capability of a soul to transmit any prayers to the soul of any person living in a country even over inter-continental distances; I would like to apprise you about the instance described by him on the pages 75 and 76 of this book.
I am reproducing it here — verbatim.
When you affirm health, harmony, and peace for yourself or another, and when you realize these are universal principles of your own being, you rearrange the negative patterns of your subconscious mind, based on your faith and understanding of that which you affirm.
I chose to use this method when my sister was about to be operated for the removal of gallstones in a hospital in England. Her diagnosis was based on the usual hospital tests and X-ray procedures. She asked me to pray for her recovery. I was over six thousand miles away, but this did not disturb me. There is no time or space in the mind principle. Infinite mind or intelligence is present in its entirety at every point simultaneously.
Several times in a day I withdrew all thought from the contemplation of my sister’s symptoms and from the corporeal personality altogether. Calmly and comfortably, I affirmed as follows:
“This prayer is for my sister Catherine. She is relaxed and at peace, poised, balanced, serene, and calm. The healing intelligence of her subconscious mind that created her body is now transforming every cell, nerve, tissue, muscle, and bone of her being according to the perfect pattern of all organs lodged in her subconscious mind. Silently, quietly, all distorted thought patterns in her subconscious mind are removed and dissolved, and the vitality, wholeness, and beauty of the life principle are made manifest in every atom of her being. She is now open and receptive to the healing currents that are flowing through her like a river, restoring her to perfect health, harmony and peace. All distortions and ugly images are now washed away by the infinite ocean of love and peace flowing through her, and it is so.”
At the end of two weeks, my sister had another examination. Her X-rays were negative. Her doctor admitted that she showed remarkable healing and called off the scheduled surgery.
Just think, how such surgery could have been called off, that too — when his sister lived in a country far away from his country, on a different continent?
Though it is true that when we are in deep sleep during the night — our subconscious mind acts just like an ICU doctor and starts rejuvenating our internal organs so that they may become fit to deal with the hassles of the next day — if I am correct, gallstones may be removed only “surgically”.
Do you think, his prayers could have averted the surgical operation?
I doubt it very much.
But if we believe him, his prayers could have given her some relief only in the following manner.
The way, we can transmit our messages across various continents using the internet; our souls may be also able to transmit such messages to the souls of other persons using some App of the same type as is used by us — employing some type of internet, similar to our internet.
So once his soul should have transmitted his prayers to the soul of his sister — it should have not been difficult for the subconscious mind of his sister to take the cudgels in its hands.
Should I tell you — why I think so?
I think so because of the following incident that had occurred in my own life.
Once you know about this incident that had happened in my life — even you would be convinced that, somehow, souls are also able to communicate with the souls of other persons.
This is the incident.
In the year 1989, the Singhania group of Kanpur (a city close to the city where I live, which used to be an industrial hub of North India, once upon a time) had also not only started manufacturing scooters just like our factory; it had even advertised some vacancies.
Just like many other disgruntled employees of our company — I also responded to this advertisement.
Though I don’t know why — when I reached Kanpur for the interview, I chose to go to the venue of the interview by public conveyance instead of hiring a cab which dropped me at a place a few kilometers away from the venue.
While I looked for a cab — I became nervous because it looked as though I would not be able to reach the venue of the interview at the time assigned to me for the interview.
Though my feet were stumbling — to my great surprise, a person approached me and asked me whether he could help me in any way.
When I told him about my problem — he offered to take me to the venue of the interview on his scooter.
On the way, when I asked him — how he happened to pass through the place where I was waiting for a cab, he told me that though he lived far away from that place; he used to come there only on weekends to collect payments of the goods supplied by him to his customers, but on that day some unknown soul woke him up and told him to reach this place to help somebody who is in trouble.
Don’t you think — it could have not been possible unless my soul should have been able to send out an SOS message?
I hope it explains how the prayers of Dr Murphy should have been transmitted by his soul to the soul of his sister.
