definition
"Prayer is born the moment surrender flowers within, when the ego relaxes and the heart whispers, "I am not; Thou art." Let your prayer take its unique form, shaped by your own sensitivity and the essence of existence."
According to Osho, prayer is born the moment surrender flowers within—when the feeling "I am not; Thou art" arises and the ego relaxes. Its essence is one, but its expressions are infinitely diverse: silence as meditation, or song, dance, art, and poetry. Don’t imitate; listen to your own sensitivity and let existence shape your prayer’s unique form.
Prayer begins when you humbly let go of ego and let your heart express itself in its own natural way.
