By Harold Klemp
A family had a temperamental parrot. When the bird was in one of his bad moods, he would squawk and carry on, making all kinds of noise.
One day the owners decided that they couldn’t put up with the parrot’s bad habits anymore. He was becoming a real pest in the household.
“What if we chanted HU?” the husband asked.
They didn’t try to change the parrot, but they knew singing HU would open the way for ECK, the Holy Spirit, to bring divine love into their household.
The next few times the parrot got noisy and disruptive; the owners chanted HU. The bird quickly quieted down and became very docile, and the household was once again peaceful. It even got to the point where the parrot joined in.
Some human beings think animals are so low on the scale of life that they could not possibly provide a suitable embodiment for Soul. But in Eckankar we know that animals are Souls.
And since they are Soul, they, too, need the love that HU can bring.
HU is a love song to God. Anyone can sing HU throughout their day to help bring peace and calm, expand your awareness, and heal a broken heart.
“If you want to lift yourself to a higher state of consciousness—so that the political issues, the family issues, the social issues of the day do not throw you out of balance, so that you can find a happier, more contented life while you’re living here—sing HU, the most beautiful prayer.” by Harold Klemp, HU, the Most Beautiful Prayer
