*Become a true prayer.* *The pseudo prayer is very prevalent because it is cheap, it costs nothing.* *The true prayer demands much from you. It demands surrender, it demands a state of let-go.* *The false prayer is parrot like: you simply repeat a certain formula given to you by the priests, by the parents, by the society, and you go on repeating it every night. It becomes only a habit.* *If you don't repeat it you feel you are missing something. But although you go on repeating it for years you never get anything out of it.* *When you don't do it, the feeling certainly arises that you are missing something, because an old pattern is not fulfilled and mind is very mechanical.* *If you miss anything, the mind goes on goading you: Do it! The mind feels completely at ease if everything goes ritualistically.* *The mind is very ritualistic and all the religions have become ritualistic because of the mind, the domination of the mind.* *True religion is not a ritual. It is a feeling, it is love.* *Prayer is not something that you can do; it is something that you can be.* *Prayer is not an act but a state of being.* *It simply means to be so utterly silent that God can speak to you.* *The untrue prayer means that you speak to God; the true prayer means that you listen to God. The difference is tremendous.*
