When we say: “Thy will, not mine, be done,” aren't we stating the obvious if our concept of God is omniscient, omnipotent and is the Heart of Compassion?Yes, but,
what happens as I say this perfect evocation, is an almost automatic
transcendence from my personal desires and a submission to a higher will. I
come to understand that there is suffering that calls for compassion and that
compassion can take form in so many ways that I can’t understand from my own
limited perspective.
Why then should
I pray for others at all? After all, if I am in the dark isn’t it a waste of
time to ask God for anything? The answer is simple: compassion. Caring about
those who suffer from and in; tyranny and war, hospitals, mental wards, unimaginable,
catastrophe, prisons, poverty, prisoners of conscience and children who’ve been abandoned,
betrayed, abused and even murdered, takes me out of self before I meditate. Then,
when my consciousness rises to that of the Heart of Compassion, my vision
improves to the extent that universality grants my heart the direction to act
accordingly.
