Question

Don't try to substitute work with prayer. Explain

Answer 1

The statement - 'Do not try to substitute work with prayer' means a person should not be lazy and shirk from his duties laying the burden of the work on God. There are many people who do not want to work hard, so they say that they are praying to God, and God will fulfil their task. Actually hard work and prayer are complementary. A person must make an effort and at the same time pray to God to give him success in his endeavour. It is only when a person uses the abilities endowed to him by God that he can achieve something in life. Nothing can be achieved without making an effort.
