Let us learn through the beggar.
One day a beggar was walking in front of a hotel when the hotel owner called him and the hotel owner called him through the back door and asked him to sit on the floor and gave him the leftover food from the hotel.
The hotel owner told the beggar to say this sentence before eating.
When the hotelier says, "Our Father who is in heaven," the beggar says, "Your Father who is in heaven."
Again and again the hotelier told him to listen, but the beggar said, "Your father."
Since this was problematic, the hotelier asked the beggar why he was saying that.
Then the beggar says, Sir, if I had said this, "Our Father," I would have been your brother, would not I?
Sir, if we are brothers, you can take me in through the front door and not through the back door.
Sir can ask me to sit at the table, without telling him to sit on the floor.
Sir,you want to give me a good meal, not leftover food.
Only then, sir, will we be brothers.
Therefore, it cannot be "our father". It must be "your father".
This is what is called "more stanzas, less Dhamma".
We have a lot to say, but we do very little in practice.
