Question 98: THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT THROUGH MEDITATION SEEMS EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT FOR MOST PEOPLE. IS THIS WHY MANY CHOOSE THE PATH OF FAITH, PRAYER, AND SUPPLICATION, HOPING FOR DIVINE SALVATION?

Answer: There are two main reasons why many people choose the path of prayer and supplication for salvation:

- Firstly, humanity has yet to develop a systematic, logical, and scientifically grounded approach to meditation. As a result, only a few fortunate individuals succeed, while the majority fail. The success rate would significantly improve if meditation practice were systematized into a clear and logical framework that anyone could follow.

- Secondly, many believe that Divine Beings can save everyone, regardless oftheir qualities or circumstances, as long as they persistently pray and plead. They assume that the Divine will yield to their requests with boundless compassion.

However, they fail to understand that while Divine Beings deeply love humanity, they also set high standards and are exacting in their expectations.Prayer is merely the initial step; it helps solidify faith, strengthen willpower, and establish a connection between humans and the Divine.

However, once this foundation is built, humans must embark on the challenging journey of confronting their inner selves to transform their nature. This path of inner transformation is inherently tricky and demands significant effort.

Divine Beings require humans to demonstrate determination, capability, effort, and virtues before offering guidance and support on the path to Sainthood. They do not allow stagnation, complacency, or reliance solely on prayer without making progress.
