Prayer should be the last resort
You should work and should work so hard that success should be your right. The people who work and have hope that they shall succeed, they are successful because they do not depend upon others. They do not depend even on God. They have faith in their own work and efforts and they do believe that when they are sincere and when their efforts are in the right direction, success is their right and they shall get the work done.
The man who work and then fails, he has got no complaint in his mind because a worker always believes that success is his right and if he fails, it means that there had been something wrong with him and therefore, next time he shall correct those wrong and remove those defects in him and he shall succeed next time. A worker may be having faith in God, first of all he believes in his own efforts and in his own efficiency and proficiency. He puts all labour at his command and tries to reach the goal and that too successfully. And we must accept that what has been done in history and even what is being done today, all works are those which have been undertaken and completed by workers and the people who had been just believing in God and had been just praying, they had been left behind. If they had been writing their names in history or in mythology, those books are just for reading and that too in vacant time. A worker believes that work is worship and when some are just recalling religious books, the people are at work and go ahead and it must be accepted that all those countries and nations are ahead of those who had been just praying and doing nothing.
A man who is just praying and not doing the work remains under tension and pressure and the people who are at work are not under pressure and tension. Therefore, from today, we shall be choosing the path of work and not the the path of the prayer. Prayer shall be our last resort and that too after we have put in all the labour at our command. We shall pray before God only for success and we shall not call God through our prayers to come and do our work and allow us to have rest. Such a course is not less than a sin and it is like one son who himself is taking rest and calling his father to work for him Such a son shall never be pardoned by God .
