Question
One of my friend is addicted to drug,lives tamasic life,keep her room always very dirty. Many times i have read if you pray to the divine self of the person whom you want to change help’s. Will it help in this case too!
Answer
Dear Aditya,
The power of prayer is truly astonishing: it helps seeds to germinate, plants to flower, and human beings to overcome their difficulties and limitations and grow in their divine nature.
Your intuition to pray to the divine Self of your friend is precisely what Yogananda recommends as the best way to pray. Her soul is longing to be free from the harmful habits she is manifesting, and when you direct your prayers to that divine soul, they will help her to awaken to her higher consciousness.
