The prayer that yet "wants" or "desires"
has not known or understood its purpose or reason.
One awakens the divinity within by prayer - the divinity,
My dears, that will silence all selfishness and humiliate
the "I" that is present.
Prayers are only answered, My child,
when one stops challenging Me with his pride
and uninquiring questions. The prayer, O child,
is one's effort to reach Me - to know his own self.
It is not a bribe that will satisfy Me, for I am always in bliss.
The prayer must be the plea of purity that must show in
each of your acts.
The prayer must be that strength that must
rise before each storm of confusion.
The prayer must be the truth that will make
you shut yourself to every lie, and every "my".
The one that prides in his spiritual success,
The prayer must be the plea of purity that must show in
each of your acts.
The prayer must be that strength that must
rise before each storm of confusion.
The prayer must be the truth that will make
you shut yourself to every lie, and every "my".
The one that prides in his spiritual success,
has not attained it.
Goals must be set, efforts must be made,
but the success of spirituality can never
be weighed and can never determined in a finite manner.
When one aspires change, the growth has begun -
when one begins to change, the growth has shown
its development - when one has changed, the growth
has resulted, and when one inspires the change,
the growth is at its fullest maturity.
