Core Insight:
According to Osho, prayer is an indefinable fragrance of love - the silent, wordless state of the heart, not a request, ritual, or belief in a man-made God. True prayer is presence, a being, like Jesus' 'Abba': a living, intimate relatedness with existence. Mechanical recitations and desire-driven petitions are corpses; real prayer flowers in inner silence, love, and choiceless trust.
