Is prayer useless in the context of uncontrived, natural samadhi as proposed by Ashtavakra?

True prayer arises not from the doer, but from the silence of awe that transcends the ego, allowing reverence to flow spontaneously.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Real prayer isn’t forced; it just happens when beauty or truth moves you and your ego disappears.
Why this matters practically
- Helps drop empty, habitual rituals and ego-identity.
- Cultivates attention to beauty and presence so gratitude arises naturally.
- Aligns practice with effortless awareness (sahaj samadhi).
