Pattern of Our PRAYER

‘Arth’ means desire.

Whenever we usually pray, prayers are to the world, to people, to

situations - there is a desire behind it-‘arth’

The desire is a product of conditioning, it is material.

Praarthnaa means that - ‘arth’, desire is being surpassed.

Pra-arth– beyond desire.

So now I cannot ask for a thought, a thing or a person

since it is beyond desire. What is left to ask then?

In Real PRAYER…

• both the characteristics of ‘desiring’ and ‘praying’ are absent,

• and they are simultaneously absent.

In Real PRAYER…

There is nobody to whom you are asking. That means - Neither the entity ‘to whom’you ask is there, nor ‘you’ are there, and nor is ‘asking’ there.

It means that prayer cannot be an activity. It means that you cannot call any of your actions as ‘prayer’.

PRAYER IS YOUR VERY BEING.

PRAYER IS THE VERY-VERY SILENT CALL OF THE MIND.

Real PRAYER

The deeper the silence, the truer the prayer.

The noisier the call of the mind, the more it is just a desire, and not prayer.

You can only be prayerful, you cannot pray.
