Prayers Page 8
All the theists of the world irrespective of religion are Saguna devotees. They need some sign of God to pray, some direction of God to pray, some words for God to pray. These all innocent theists when pray God, they close their eyes. All the people, let them belong to Indian religions or non-Indian religions, everybody, they automatically close their eyes when they pray God. While praying, many people become better actors than Hollywood stars. They try to make their faces full of emotion with some efforts. Then some people bow or fold hands. Subsequently, the eyes shut without acting; most of the times, as soon as they remember God. Closure of eyes is most natural. Why the eyes are closed? This is the prompt from the inner omniscient. This is in fact a hint. The inner God wants you to meet, wants to listen to your prayer. Inner God wants to listen to your grievance. But you do not respond to inner God due to bondages. You know your bondages, but you do not desire to do those away. Your prayers are therefore, 99% unheard. You start dancing even if your 1% prayer is heard and forget that 99% were denied. This proportion is reversible if you listen to inner voice.
Prayer, the word has the origin written in Wikipedia:
Pray entered Middle English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_English> as preyen, prayen, and preien around 1290, recorded in The early South-English Legendary I. 112/200: And preide is fader wel ?erne, in the sense of "to ask earnestly." The next recorded use in 1300 is simply "to pray." The word came to English from Old French <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_French> preier, "to request" (first seen in La Séquence de Ste. Eulalie, ca. 880) In modern French prier, "to pray," the stem-vowel is leveled under that of the stem-stressed forms, IL prie, etc. The origin of the word before this time is less certain. Compare the Italian Pregare, "to ask" or more rarely "pray for something" and Spanish preguntar, "ask."
One possibility is the Late Latin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Latin> precare (as seen in Priscian <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscian>), classical Latin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Latin> precari "to entreat, pray" from Latin precari, from precor, from prec-, prex "request, entreaty, prayer." Precor was used by Virgil <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil>, Livy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livy>, Cicero <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicero>, and Ovid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovid> in the accusative <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusative>. Dative <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dative> forms are also found in Livy and Aurelius Propertius. With pro in the ablative <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ablative>, it is found in Plinius Valerianus’s physic, and Aurelius Augustinus’s Epistulae. It also could be used for a thing. From classical times, it was used in both religious and secular senses. Prex is recorded as far back as T. Maccius Plautus (254 B.C. -?). Other senses of precor include "to wish well or ill to anyone," "to hail, salute," or "address one with a wish."

The word “prayer” has been derived in non Indian languages from the most ancient language Sanskrit infinite period before Christ. In the Vedas, there are two ways told to attain God, and these are the two ways of living life. “Preya” and “Shreya” are these two ways. The word prayer is derived from the Sanskrit word “Preya“What is Preya and Shreya? It could be said that these two are life styles. In Short, Preya means pray God and live your life according to what your mind suggests you. Shreya mean adopt the way of the enlightened saints to attain God and live happy life. Most of the people go according to what their mind directs them and pray God. The seekers of God go the way told by the ancient saints. The Vedas further describe, that the people who do everything by decision of their minds and pray God, go the Moon way. (Their souls are transmigrated). This is Preya way. The people, who go by the advice of the enlightened and self realized saints, go the Devyaan way i.e. the way of God. This is Shreya way. (One can refer to Kathopnishada for the details).
