Rituals and Prayers of Religion

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One An Advice for the Child

One of the rituals of religion is prayer and entirely focusing on God.  Not the kind of prayer that the person is praying without knowing what they are saying, without concentration, with cursory intent or pretense.  The principles order of prayer exists in all religions.  The fundamental intention of prayer is to prevent ethical vices and to concentrate on purity and cleanliness and connection to God, based on contemplation and the establishment of the concentration of the forces, for it attains enormous advantages and blocks many losses. Orderly and regular concentration on prayer and turning to God (with the rituals and circumstances designated in the religions) nourishes the human spirit, and it makes us worthy of any grace and blessing from God.
