What is the nature of prayer?

definition
"Prayer is a heart-to-heart communion, a dialogue where two remain two, transcending the mental to awaken the sensitivity of the soul."
According to Osho, prayer is a heart-to-heart communion—the meeting of beings, deeper than sex or love, yet still a dialogue where two remain two. It is not mental speech but an energetic feeling-language that all life understands—birds, trees, even stones. By bypassing the head and listening with the heart, prayer awakens long-lost sensitivity and ripens one toward meditation.
Prayer means talking and listening with your heart so you deeply connect—even without words—with people, animals, and nature.
Why this matters practically
- Reopens feeling beyond the head, increasing empathy and presence.
- Deepens connection with people, animals, and nature through heartful listening.
- Cultivates sensitivity that heals numbness and prepares you for meditation.
