What is prayer?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Prayer is not a request for things, but a loving invitation to the Divine, asking for illumination and transformation to ignite the heart's core."
According to Osho, prayer is a loving invitation to the Divine—an ardent call to lead us from darkness to light, unreality to truth, death to immortality. It asks that the Beloved ignite the heart’s core, becoming our inner flame. Prayer is not for things, but for illumination, presence, and transformation: letting existence light our small lamp.
Prayer means lovingly asking the divine to switch on the light inside you so you can see and live truly.
