To me, prayer has nothing to do with words. It is a silent gratefulness; it is utterly silent, but a deep gratefulness. It is possible only if you learn how to be blissful; otherwise there will be nothing to be grateful for. So I teach my sannyasins not prayer, but bliss. Dance, sing, be blissful, […]
Everybody has the seed to become a beautiful flower of love, a lotus.
