Rumi was once asked:
What do you "gain" from praying to God regularly?
He replied:
Usually "I don't earn anything", but rather "I lose certain things".
And he quoted everything he lost praying to God regularly:
I lost my pride
I lost my arrogance
I lost my anger
I lost stress
I lost greed
I lost the pleasure of lying
I lost the taste of sin
I lost the impatience
I lost despair and discouragement
Sometimes we pray, not to gain something, but to lose things that don't allow us to grow personally and spiritually.
Prayer educates, strengthens and heals.

The long-standing position of the UK is that it is for India and Pakistan to find a lasting, political resolution to the situation in Kashmir, taking into account the wishes of the Kashmiri people. It is not for the UK to prescribe a solution or to act as a mediator. We encourage both sides to maintain positive dialogue and find lasting, diplomatic solutions, but the pace and scope is for them to determine.
