Chapter from “Forever with Master” vol. II (p. 100), section “The Gurmukh standing for the Truth” — by Dr. Harbhajan Singh
“He will come to the heart that truly yearns for Him.
Even if the heart is even slightly turned to Him,
He will look after you. But for the heart that truly yearns
in all fullness, what can stop His coming?
In Gurbani it states that the Merciful Lord has given orders
for whatever the child requests to be granted.
The true child desires only this happiness:
That his heart may reside in Thy lotus feet.” (35)

Prayer and wishes are two different things, having different solutions. Prayer is heard by Him to whom it is made, whereas a wish
is heard by all forces. A wish of the Master when duly accomplished by the disciples surpasses all barriers and cleans the way within and without. A wish of the Master and the wish of the disciple bear a different view.
❊
The prayer of the Gurmukh unto his Master is heard by his Master and put into vibration, and people are benefitted. Each prayer of the Gurmukh is based on Truth and is never contrary to natural laws.
❊
The Gurmukh makes the prayer with knowledge (Gyan). For him prayer is the holy sound within, and the knowledge is the holy fire. Each of his prayers is heard by his Master.
❊
The daily prayer of the Gurmukh is to pray to his Master to bless all to know the par excellence greatness of his Master through the Grace of his Master. For him there is no higher meditation than this.
