According to Osho, never pray for happiness—or for anything at all. Asking turns God into a means and keeps you bound to dualities like pleasure and pain. True prayer is non-asking: a silent thanksgiving for the boundless grace already given—life, breath, existence. In grateful presence, petty demands fall away, and a living relationship with the Divine flowers beyond happiness and sorrow.
Don’t ask God for happy things; just say thank you for life and be quietly present—that’s real prayer.
