What should I ask God for?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"The highest prayer is not to ask at all; instead, be receptive and gratefully receive the abundant gifts that Existence offers. If you must ask, ask for love, for the Beloved, and surrender your small desires to the vastness of the divine."
According to Osho, the highest prayer is not to ask at all: drop beggary, be receptive, and gratefully receive what Existence gives—its gifts exceed your mind’s small requests. Let prayer be offering, even self-surrender. If asking is unavoidable, ask as a lover: ask for love, for the Beloved Himself—for God, the Master—never for trifles.
Don’t give God a shopping list; say thank you and open your hands—and if you must ask, ask only for love/God, not things.
