Maintaining presence even during hostility

No matter what is happening around me ( I am in a very hostile atmosphere, no telling how things can go) I must remain in presence, in silence and not let the mind/ego take over.

I must have faith in You, O Self, O Father, I must have acceptance of what is, and forgiveness for those around me (no matter what they do). The only way for me to remain in awareness is to forgive and to accept. However, i still pray to you for peace for all concerned, so all are happy and free from suffering. May all beings be free of suffering, may all be happy, and live happily and harmoniously.

Constant prayer to end suffering

I shall keep looking into your eyes and asking you and praying to You to end all suffering for ever. Let all beings be in peace and joy, free of suffering and misery and pain, Fathers.

There are people dying, people killing others, people killing themselves, people waiting to die, people wanting to die, people struggling to keep alive, ... people in all kinds of misery from which there seems no way out.

Telling them that you exist, that you love all, that all are your beloved children is of no use. That would aggravate them even further.

Lord,  I am in so much pain, that I would do what you ask to see all beings happy and free of suffering. Name your price. Be clear. And if you do not answer, I shall remain in silence, in presence, for that is all I seem to know or be capable of. I am an utter failure in all things related to this world and society, i understand nothing. The only thing I can do, and that too just barely, is to be present. Even that silence is lost when there are ego attacks. But it's all I have, all i can do.

O Father, how beloved You are, how loving you are, the silence is another world altogether, another feeling, another dimension. O Silence, how mysterious you are, when will you claim me ...

May all beings be free of suffering for ever and ever.

Suffering

Father,
Please please protect and save those who are suffering. Please show them the way out. Arunachala Siva, please deliver all these souls. They know not, and are lost. Please save them. There is too much suffering everywhere. O Father Ramana, Father Buddha, and all others, please save those in pain. This is an urgent prayer.
