What is prayer?

Prayer is a heart-born gratitude, a spontaneous offering that opens the inner home to the divine; it is the deep sincerity of tears and joy, poured without expectation.

— Osho
According to Osho, prayer is a heart-born gratitude and welcoming mood—a spontaneous, childlike offering that prepares the inner home for the divine guest. It is not formal words or seeking answers, nor an attempt to change God, but deepening sincerity, tears and joy poured without expectation. Persisted in, such prayer ripens into innocence, inner silence, and the first fragrance of samadhi.

Prayer is saying thank you from your heart like a little child and getting ready inside for a beloved guest, without asking for anything.
