Narad Puran is the ancient text which elaborates the right manner to
pray to a god. The scripture mentions 4 things, rather emotions, which do not
let the prayers be successful.
Thus, to
gain complete benefit from your prayers and devotion, be careful of the
following:
1) Praying
because you have been asked to
People often pray to god because their parents or elders pressurize them to visit temples, and perform rituals. Such prayers bring no benefit. Unless and until you have faith in what your are doing, god will not listen to you.
2)
Praying out of fear
Often people pray to god out of fear. What if god gets angry if I don't pray? I may not get promotion if I don't pray or I may fail in a test if I don't pray. These are some common concerns of many. However, prayers done out of fear do not give positive results.
3)
Incomplete knowledge
Performing rituals the wrong way due to lack of knowledge can affect the results negatively.
It is best to stick to simple form of pooja if you don't know in detail how the right rituals.
4)
Praying out of greed
If your sole motive for praying is to make profit either in business, academics or personal life, then the actual devotion gets killed. And praying with such an emotion bears no fruit.
