What is the difference between prayer with expectations and without expectations?
SSRF Alert
There are two types of prayer depending on the intention behind the prayer.
- Prayer with worldly expectation
This is the commonest variety of prayer. This type of prayer is said with the expectation of fulfillment of some worldly requirement. The prayer may or may not be accompanied by any other spiritual practice.
Some of the prayers with worldly expectation would include prayers about:
- Gross material requirements like job, partner, child, etc.
- Subtle material requirement like recovery from illness, happiness, etc.
- Prayer without worldly expectation (for spiritual growth)
This type of prayer is said by the seekers of God who are serious about their spiritual journey. In such prayers also there is a pleading to God, but it is not about worldly expectations. The expectation is about being able to do better spiritual practice to achieve spiritual progress. Seekers may also pray for removal of obstacles in their spiritual practice, reduction of their ego, etc.
