Prayer is all over space. The stars are prayerful, the trees are prayerful the oceans are prayerful. Except for man, the whole of existence is always in a state of prayer; only man needs to move toward it consciously. And it is for a certain reason: man is the only conscious animal, hence he has […]
Prayer has not to be just verbal. A verbal prayer is a pseudo phenomenon; it pretends to be prayer, but it is plastic. It is not a real flower. The real prayer has nothing to do with language at all because God understands no language. There are three thousand languages on earth and scientists say […]
Let it be your work upon yourself to feel more and more grateful. Gratitude is the essence of prayer and is possible only when you see that everything is a gift, each breath is a gift. And what a gift! So valuable that there is no way to purchase it. It has no price. You […]
The journey begins in love and ends in light, or in enlightenment. And the bridge is prayer. The whole pilgrimage from ignorance to wisdom is nothing but a pilgrimage of prayer.

Life is a gift from existence. We have not earned it; in fact, we don’t even deserve it. But we are such ungrateful creatures that not even a simple thank you arises in us. We are not grateful that we are alive; we are not grateful that we have been given this opportunity to grow, […]
