The last question: Question 5 WHAT IS PRAYER? Prayer is a state of gratitude. Prayer is thankfulness. God has given so much, at the very least we can give thanks. Prayer is a preparation to welcome him. The guest will come, the guest will have to come. Decorate the house with flowers and boughs. String flower garlands. Prepare lamps of blessing. Prayer is a preparation to welcome. Who knows when the guest will come? I will be ready. Since I heard you will come to my door, each day I fill my house with new wreaths and flowers! O my life, look all around -- the door, the threshold, the courtyard I have swept the whole house in your welcome; because your feet are delicate beloved, the whole path is decorated with flower petals; since I heard you will come to my courtyard, I fill the whole street with festive spires and streamers. Ever since I heard you will come to my door, each day I fill my house with new wreaths and flowers! I had thought life a rather desolate place, I thought no song here was mine; never did a song burst forth from these strange lips; ever since I heard you will sing my song, each day I try out and bring new rhymes, new rhythms! Ever since I heard you will come to my door, each day I fill my house with new wreaths and flowers! In the eyes there is a festival of new dreams, this seven-colored-wish smiles in my heart; how can I cut the beautiful wings of imagination, the heart's golden bird is restless; ever since I heard you will overwhelm my life, every day I dream bewitching dreams! Ever since I heard you will come to my door, each day I fill my house with new wreaths and flowers! Standing at the crossroads I realize, I don't know on which path you will come; the world says I have become your mad woman, dark lover caress this madness; ever since I heard you will take an unknown path, I light lamps each day on every path! Ever since I heard you will come to my door, each day I fill my house with new wreaths and flowers! Whenever the guest will come, on whichever path he will come, from whichever door he will come, prayer is the preparation for his coming! Prayer is a mood of welcoming. Don't fall into formal prayer. Let prayer be spontaneous, direct, arising from your heart, only then will it be meaningful. Not scriptural but heartful. Then even if it is babbling... You have seen that when a small child starts babbling the first time how sweet its babbling is. Later when he starts to speak correctly perhaps no one will pay attention to him. But babbling is so sweet that the mother is delighted and calls everyone around to hear. He doesn't say anything clearly yet. But when he starts speaking, no one bothers. In the beginning prayer is like babbling. And remember a prayer that is babbled reaches to god, if it is from the heart, spontaneous, yours. Whom shall I befriend today? In the sky with billowing dark clouds, imagination dances, becoming a peacock, feelings pull me towards them. Tell me, with whom shall I flow? today, thirst is floating on my lips, the heart sitting, silent, sad, in the breath an agitated sigh, will I remain in pain on the verge of death? The language of the eyes is unknown, my song flying like a bird, a great dilemma in the heart, should I endure the remorse of helplessness? The hour of evening is impatient, a gentle breeze dancing and turning, a suffocating pain rising who to tell this lingering agony to? Whom shall I befriend today? Tell me, with whom shall I flow? Prayer is a submission like this. Love is from the sky... No answer comes from another direction. This is why the prayer of one who waits for an answer will quickly cease. Don't just wait for an answer, keep making your offering. Don't be concerned whether he will answer or not, whether the matter reaches to him or not, don't worry about all this. Don't even try to use your prayer to change god. Just be concerned whether your prayer is going deeper. Is my prayer soaked with my tears, soaked with my bliss? Is the mark of my smile on my prayer? And is the signature of my spirit on my prayer? Just be concerned with this. And one day suddenly prayer reaches. Your babbling is heard. And in that moment in your temple of silence that child is born. That innocent consciousness enters. The white dove descends, the first glimpse of samadhi has come... it will come, it will certainly come. Jesus has said, what has happened to me can happen to you. I say the same to you, what has happened to me can happen to you too. What has happened to one man is the birthright of all. Enough for today? |
