"When you find no light, let your prayer be a formless silence; trust the darkness and allow your inner flame of awareness to ignite."
According to Osho, when you have no experience of light, let prayer be formless, unborrowed silence—wait, sit quietly, and allow it to arise on its own. Don’t seek prescribed words; they can’t dispel darkness. Trust the unknown, surrender to the dark itself, and light your own inner lamp—the living flame of awareness—rather than rehearsing lifeless formulas given by others.
If you can’t feel any light, don’t copy prayers—just sit quietly, trust not-knowing, and let your own real prayer and inner lamp turn on from within.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivates authentic, self-arising devotion instead of borrowed rituals.
- Reduces anxiety by replacing frantic searching with patient silence.
- Builds inner responsibility: you light awareness yourself, not rely on others’ words.
