Core Insight:
According to Osho, prayer is not a request to reach God but a transformative way of being that dissolves the ego so only the divine nature remains. Like a sculptor removing excess stone, prayer strips away the accidental roles, identities, and desires, revealing the original face within. It is continuous, like breathing: every act, such as rising, eating, and working, becomes prayerful, preserving the essential presence that is God within.
