About the prayer ardor


God doesn’t responds to weakly or unenthusiastically calls but He only appears in front of those who pray to Him with the most intense ardor for one day and night (24 continuous hours). He never fails answer such fervent callings.



“Oh Lord, our HEAVENLY FATHER, You are now for me invisible, impersonal, unknown and mysterious; still I believe, with deep, passionate love and abnegation to You, that You will assume a form and will reveal Yourself in my being.”

As long as we haven’t convinced yet God that we don’t have any other stronger wish in our heart, He will not answer us. At a wise approach we can realize this is normal, for why would God the Supreme Being reveal to us if we need nothing else in fact but his gifts?

God father is longing with much patience for us. He wishes us to get back to Him. This is our supreme right by birth. Sooner or later we’ll have to leave this Earth because in fact this is not our real home. Our life on Earth is nothing but a school where we were sent by God to see if we long for the vain earthly glory or if we get enough wisdom to say:


 
“Oh God, all my delusions I had so far have ended. I want to speak with nobody else but You. I do know You are my only immortal treasure because, even after the entire world disappears, I will remain with you for ever.”



In fact, the Earth is nothing else than a place where we prepare ourselves to became one with God. He speaks to us when we act for Him and in His name and we have to speak permanently full of love to Him. We can address Him like that:


“Oh God, I humbly implore You, give me Your supreme grace.”



By doing this we shall never consider His silence as a final answer.

God will often start to answer us by fulfilling one of our wishes, thus showing He is attentive to us. Still we ought to mention once again we must never confine ourselves to His gifts. We have to firmly and continuously tell Him we’ll never be happy until we have totally merged with Him. Finally, God Father will start giving us an answer which will mean to us a real divine message. Then we might have the vision of a saint, of an angel or we might simply hear His Divine Voice. We’ll know then, by an ineffable feeling, that we are in communion with God. The angelic realm bridges the level of the superior forms with the world of forms. Thus, in some cases, God could appear to us in the body of some angelic messengers. But not even then we should ever forget we are in fact talking to God Father.


To obtain this supreme gift, there is a constant, passionate effort required. Nobody can theoretically explain to us or describe to the letter this ineffable state of aspiration towards God and what its divine shiver may stir inside of us. We have nothing else to do but raise it and enhance it in ourselves. In fact, even this awakening and spontaneous enhancement of the aspiration towards God also is its turn, nothing else than the expression of God’s grace. There is an Indian proverb saying that:” Anyone can bring a horse to water, but nobody can force it to drink. But if the horse is very thirsty, it will search for the water by itself with the keenest zeal in the world.” Also we, when we have a huge thirst for God and we don’t pay any attention at all to other activities – in words or actions – He will certainly come to us. When we call God in our being, with all the ardor of our heart, without finding all kinds of excuses for this, He will come.

When we realize the Laya Yoga technique with AUM mantra and at the same time we ask a question to God, from the depths of our soul, if we have really reached an authentic communication to God, we’ll amazingly find out this sound takes an ineffable shape in perfectly intelligible sentences in our language which will offer us precise instructions and revelations.

In fact the Heavenly Father is always speaking to us this way:

“Always call Me, talk to Me from the depths of your heart, from the bottom of your being, from the sanctuary of your soul, in intense and firm perseverance, keep searching for Me, even if I don’t answer to you for now. If you never give up calling Me in your heart, eager of my ineffable blissful void, whispering:


“Oh my beloved Heavenly Father, who are so silent, I humbly implore You, talk to me.”

“Then I will come to you, if you endevour long enough”.
 
If we hear, once at least, God’s answer we’ll never feel ourselves separated from Him anymore. This supreme divine experience will ever remain inside of us. But this “first time” is in the beginning most difficult to reach because it’s not easy at all to get the mind and the heart give up the low propensities of life.  Often we still doubt and we are worried and upset by this distrust due to our previous materialistic impulses (because some of them are deeply rooted in our subconscious).
