What is the nature of prayer and to whom do we pray?

Prayer is not a petition to a deity, but a state of being—an overflowing love and gratitude that resonates with all of existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, prayer isn’t something you say to a deity—there’s no one to address. Prayer is a state of being: a loving, grateful, fear-free resonance with existence itself. It’s not petition but perfume—love overflowing toward all. Live prayerfully by relating lovingly with trees, sky, people, and everything, letting gratitude continuously flow.

Prayer isn’t asking someone in the sky for things; it’s you quietly feeling love and thank‑you toward everything around you, all the time.
