A prayer that matters..sartaj's way..

I had not felt this much enlightened ever before, and i had never thought a prayer would do this for me, never..Prayer had always been boring and never ending yawning actvity for me..yes, a statement like this coming from a brahmin boy is shocking, atleast my friends say so..where all my mates were capable of chanting some of our major prayers i could hardly remember names...:P:P.the story is all different now.
Allow me to share an amazing experience ...Satinder sartaj is the artist and the track is 'SAI'..one of initial lines in the song says...rooh da asal malik ohs nu hi manniye,jidda naam layie taan saroor hove"
"i shall surrender my soul to a name,I get rejuvenated everytime I chant..”
..i had once learned from guruji "it doesnt matter whom you pray,what matters is the fact that a prayer is happening around", and now weeks after when my mind is overflowing with lyrics of this song..i realise what positivity a prayer generates, only if done honestly..i have never cared to whom,at what particular festive am suppose to pray..i did whatever other housemates asked me too..
i have never worshipped or claimed to follow a distinct soul..neither am doing now..i don't know what SAI actually preached..i know nothing about his teachings.. Except the fact a daily soap is being aired on him..
The point is,what all it takes to pray..we close our eyes,bow ourselves,fold our hands and we start reciting our worries that have trapped our mind..this is the most practiced form of prayer. ..but it is not necessary..A prayer mirrors self realization..That is what I have learnt..It should provide joy and peace..And that’s what every string of this song does..Moreover am surprised to see how much devotion it requires to celeberate somebody elses life.
it might be trendy for some to project themselves as atheist,but then they are deprived of such joyous experiences..
And Satinder sartaj, this guy is a genius.Not even 30, and he has redifined the ethics of sufi music..The track is already a rage in punjab..and if you havent listened it yet,you may download it for free from anywhere..but believe me,satinder sartaaj doesnt deserves this..We spend so much amount on useless assets everyday..Investing 150 bucks on an original cd wont be wasted, ofcourse not because other tracks in the album are equally engaging..
if that era belonged to nusrat fateh ali khan, this one belongs to satinder sartaaj..undoubtdly..
