Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 From OSHO : prayer is more listening than talking; better listen rather than talk. we think if we have to pray, we have to talk to God.You cannot improve upon God. Whatsoever you say is meaningless, whatsoever you say is ridiculous. He knows it already, so what is the point? You keep quiet, you remain in silence. Rather, you try to hear. Be sensitive; don't use the tongue, use the ear than the tongue. The prayer that comes out of the tongue is foolish, meaningless. You are advising God: you are saying, `Do it this way. All your prayers are your advice to God about how things should be. A really prayerful man cannot advice God; he will say, `Thy will be done, thy kingdom come; whatsoever you are doing must be right. Maybe I cannot see why it is right, I cannot see even that it is right -- that is my ignorance. But don't listen to me. Even if in my ignorance sometimes I say something to you, please never listen to me; you go on doing whatsoever you are doing.' Real prayer is not a talk, it is a listening, a deep listening. One simply sits silently, open, sensitive, alert.Just by reading the scriptures you will not arrive to truth. But if you have arrived, then all scriptures become true. Talk is cheap.
