What is the true nature of prayer?

True prayer is not a request, but a silent gratitude that arises when all need disappears; it is the essence of surrender and trust in existence itself.

— Osho
According to Osho, true prayer is not asking for anything—it flowers only when all need and demand disappear. Prayer is pure gratitude, a wordless thankfulness and sense of wonder toward existence itself. Asking carries complaint and ego; gratitude is surrender and trust. In this choiceless acceptance, one simply says 'thank you' for what is, and prayer becomes presence, not petition.

Prayer means just saying thank you to life, without asking for anything.
