Meditation and prayers play a major role in the lives of billions of people each day. Almost all people around the world practice such awe inspiring acts of worship. From all walks of life, from every nationality these sacred acts of spiritual rituals benefit the spiritual human by bringing him or her closer to theirspiritualmaster. To understand these spiritual rituals we need to pay attention to the concept behind such acts. Although they are two different rituals I want to explore the similarities of these rituals.

As you may agree, any learning any knowledge we gather in life is done by having an open mind. So we need to keep and open mind when we explore spiritual beliefs as well, and respect the fact regardless of chosen spiritual path, we all seek happiness and we all try to avoid tears in this spiritual journey.
First let's look at why do people pray? The answer to this question cannot be given by a simple response, as much as we are the same yet the feelings in our hearts vary, some people might pray, because that is what they been taught to do, and some might do so hoping to receive their wishes, and some might pray to be safe guarded from hellish places in after life destinations, also some mightprayto find meaning, purpose for their lives, the examples can go on and on. On the similar context why do peoplemeditate? Similarly they might do so to have peace of mind, to be more aware, more understanding, more compassionate or being a worthy spiritual soul. There are countless teaching onspiritualitymethods, but through it, everyone tries to achieve the feelings of happiness. As we can agree we all do these spiritual acts for the welfare of our spiritual desires and contentment. Also the object of the goal is similar yet by different means. As the saying goes "it does not matter which road one takes to climb the mountain, on top, the view will be the same".

We also need to think that all the spiritual teachers of history has taught the same thing, and that it is love, and is universal also it is there and abundant, we only need to ask to receive it. Also all the spiritual texts from ancient times, they all have one undeniable truth, and that is we are spiritual in our essence, also we should love all humans in unity, by showing respect kindness and compassion towards everyone regardless of their spiritual beliefs.

Yet conflicts arise when a spiritual follower starts to misinterpret suchspiritual teachings, and when someone starts to judge spiritual beliefs of others, then conflict arises, because the very act of us judging others will create delusions, because we are not judges, we are simply pure humans who need to live virtues lives. We can reason and question beliefs on the menu of life, but judging should be left to the supreme being, as that being is the ultimate knower and the judge.

The love and compassion that is universal is there in abundance we simple try to receive it by means of prayers ormeditation, there is no point for anyone to start thinking my beliefs are wrong or right, because in the eyes of eternity, as long as you seek the love, that is all it is asked of you. Swim in this universal love as you do everyday by your prayers or meditation, it is the same, do not think as to those who do not do the same thing as you, will go to bad places or will be unhappy, by really being kindhearted and compassionate arrive in love and respect, by your prayers or meditation, thus those who are searching then can see the universal love that is reflecting through your heart. There is no right or wrong way of feeling, or right or wrong way of attaining loving feelings, as long as you feel it, once you do become aware and wise and virtues then do not be selfish. A being selfish is not of benefit to anyone, is the universal love selfish? If it was you and I would not be here we would not be fortunate to receive the breath of life and love, we are fortunate and capable human beings, we all travel to the same destination called our ultimate destiny. That is to be in the presence of universal love and compassion.

When we attend our daily lives, and when we see a total stranger giving us a kindhearted loving warm human smile, then obviously this makes us feel happy and warm, how would we know what spiritual path he or she has chosen or follows, at the end we felt happy, would it be just, for me or you to think his or her spiritual path is wrong? Obvious answer is no, therefore realize the importance of all living beings and treat them as same as you want to be treated, which is to be fair respectful and virtues. You see dear spiritual friend, whether I pray or meditate as long as I understand it properly by trying to reflect the universal love, then that's all it matters. And in the eyes of truth, that is all it matters, to love and be loved.
