Abstract
In this article we provide an overview on how prayer works. There are two types of prayers – for worldly benefit and for spiritual growth. Accordingly the prayers are answered by a different aspect of God. Spiritual research has shown that even negative energies can answer prayers, to our detriment! One's spiritual level is the single most important factor in ensuring that one's prayers are answered. Praying for world peace, while a noble thought, is most likely not to be answered due to lack of spiritual level of the people praying. Paradoxically the people who can really effect change through a single prayer are Saints but They see the futility of praying as they are totally in alignment with God's will and don't see it separate from Theirs. Lastly the posture of prayer also contributes in the prayer being answered.
1. Introduction to the mechanism of prayer
When faced with difficult or insurmountable situations in day-to-day life like loss of a valuable, incurable illness, major financial problem, etc. people pray to God or to an aspect of Him, also known as a deity. These are prayers with material or worldly expectations.
\n\u003cdiv\>Seekers of God whose main focus in life is spiritual growth also pray regularly to God, not only in difficult situations but even in day-to-day situations. The prayers however are not about worldly expectations but about their spiritual growth and are said as a part of their spiritual practice. \u003c/div\>\n\u003cdiv\>This article explains the mechanism of how both varieties of prayers are answered.\u003c/div\>\n\u003cdiv\>To understand this article better please read:\u003c/div\>\n\u003cul\>\n\u003cli\>Definition of prayer \n\u003cli\>What is the difference between prayer with expectations and without expectations?\u003c/li\>\u003c/li\>\u003c/ul\>\n\u003cdiv\>It is important to note that when there is any problem or difficulty in life, the root cause can be physical, mental or spiritual in nature.

Definition of prayer
What is the difference between prayer with expectations and without expectations?
It is important to note that when there is any problem or difficulty in life, the root cause can be physical, mental or spiritual in nature. Research carried out by SSRF shows that up to 80% of problems in life have their root cause in the spiritual realm. Destiny and departed ancestors are two very important factors among the spiritual causes of problems in life.
2. How are prayers answered? What is the mechanism?
2.1 Who answers our prayers?
The following diagram shows who answers our prayers depending on the type of prayer. Generally the prayer differs as per the spiritual level of the person. For example a person who is at a 30% spiritual level will more often than not pray for worldly things. A person at the 50% spiritual level will more often than not pray for his spiritual progress. Accordingly the prayers are answered by various subtle energies in the Universe. What is interesting is that even negative energies answer prayers either where harm is requested and or to entrap a person under their influence by initially granting their wishes. For example, as shown in the diagram below, a person who prays for the death of another person will be helped by a negative subtle entity from the 4th Region of Hell. Prayers for worldly benefit are generally responded to by lower deities or lower positive energies. Prayers for spiritual growth are responded to by higher level deities and higher positive energies. .

Let's take the example of a person who has prayed intensely for a job. If it is in the person's destiny to be without a job for 5 years, then the lower positive energy or the lower level deity can answer the prayer by pushing out this five year jobless period to somewhere later in the person's life. Thus the person still has to go through a phase of being jobless. (This is because regardless of anything one has to undergo one's destiny; it can only be overcome by one's spiritual practice.) \n\u003cli\>Sometimes higher level deities also help the worldly situation of a seeker if it is causing an obstacle in his spiritual growth. \u003c/li\>\u003c/li\>\u003c/ul\>\n\u003ch3\>2.2 How are prayers answered?\u003c/h3\>\n\u003cul\>\n\u003cli\>When a person prays, he remembers God intensely and has an intimate dialogue with Him about issues very close to his heart. By the law of reflex action, God also feels closer to him. \n\u003cli\>Prayers have the ability to activate the deity principles (aspects of God) in the Universe. The subtlest frequencies are generated when one pays gratitude along with the prayer. These frequencies have the ability to not only activate but also touch the deity; hence the deity principle is activated faster. This activation of deity principle (aspect of God) results in fulfilment of prayers. The deities bring about the fulfilment of prayers by the power of resolve. Refer to the article on who is a deity? \n\u003cdiv\>Example of prayers followed by gratitude: \n\u003cul\>\n\u003cli\>Lord please let me get this job, I really need it. Lord, my gratitude for giving me the thought to pray. \n\u003cli\>Lord may I do all activities in this entire day as my spiritual practice. Lord, I express gratitude at your Holy Feet for having given me the thought and for having got this prayer done through me.",1]
