I read a response of yours ("spiritual path") and you were talking about prayer - you said to for the Heavenly Father to guide you and reveal himself to you. I was a fundamental Christian for several years and prayed that same prayer but never felt any guidance. I could never tell if god heard me or not; I always wanted a guiding hand on my shoulder but did not feel it. How would this be different as a Hindu, if at all? Is asking for guidance "too Christian"? What do you mean by saying do not pray like a beggar? These are my sincere questions as I search for a spiritual path to follow. I am trying to believe in God or a God-force again after disillusionment in Christianity and then brief and unhappy atheism. Can Vishnu help me? Is he really there?
Thank you.
