Man’s highest world of values reflects the highest spiritual conception of love, therefore the focus of true prayer should be in the heart. The most important thing is the love and devotion of the heart, not the external way in which prayer is performed. Through prayer, one strengthens the bond of love with God until one is equal to the high energy of God. Through the integration of the lover, or prayer, and the Beloved, or God, eventually becomes bliss. Bliss is a high consciousness of oneness, which can also be called contemplative prayer.

1. The meaning of praying
The way of praying depends on a person's cultural and cultural background
and the individual values of each person. People with a Christian
background perform and direct prayers in a differentway than, for example,
people who have internalized Eastern philosophy.The religion adopted
reflects the highest conceptionof values of the individual. In prayer, one
turns to this highest embraced world of values, represented by different
religions and conceptions of God.

2. The innermost part of prayer should be very carefully advised or taught, for
true prayer should be based on the individual highest value of man. In
teaching prayer that is taken too far, there is a danger that the authenticity
of prayer will suffer,turning into a series of mechanical performances.
Man’s highest world of values reflects the highest spiritual conceptionof
love, therefore the focus of true prayer should be in the heart. The most
important thing is the love and devotion of the heart, not the external way in
which prayer is performed.
At its mostauthentic, prayer is a conversation between man and God that
is meant to bring a closerrelationship betweenthe worshiper, or man, and
the objectof prayer, or God, which can be represented by differentspiritual
masters. Prayer is a direct way to create and strengthen man’s connection
with God through the soul.
Three ImportantMeanings ofPrayer
1. Listening to InternalGuidance
In prayer, the mind, pressed by restless everyday worries, subsides,giving
more space for the manifestation of a higher soul consciousness.In prayer,
attention should be directed to the highest value world of the loving person,
which may be represented by the spiritual master (Jesus,Buddha, Krishna,
etc.), the inner divine self,or an abstract manifestation of the highest
consciousness,such as the light of the universe. How prayer is performed
externally and to which manifestation of Deity prayer is directed is not
essential when prayer comes from true love and respectforthe Universe.
Because a person’s lower personal mind is often heavily constrained by
time, place, and mundane care, personal requests should be deliberately
made in prayer. Man sees his own life very limitedly from the perspective of
a few years or decades,which is why man rarely knows what is good for
him from the point of view of spiritual development.The bestprayer is to
listen through inner guidance through silence,trusting that the Supreme
Self knows what is bestfor man.

3. The soul contains the plan of human development,being closerto the
collective consciousness ofthe universe. Connectionto the highest
consciousness,or God,becomespossible through the human soul.
Guidance from soul consciousness always leads a person to spiritual
growth in the best way from the perspective of the whole and the
developmentplan. One should unconditionally trust and acceptthe
guidance of the soul even though it can sometimes seem difficult.Growth
hurts if a personhas been able to grow in the wrong direction for too long.
Propergrowth unifies a person, expanding the mind-limited consciousness
closerto the freedom ofthe soul.
One of the main purposes of prayer is to act like a compass,pointing in the
right directiontowards the peace of the human soul and the peace of love.
Listening to this inner compass becomes possiblein prayer of silence,
where one lovingly turns to inner guidance and is open to listening to the
brilliant divinity within each person.
2. Receiving the High Energy ofGod In
prayers, consciousnessis directed again and again towards the true center
of human consciousness,which is soul consciousness.Each prayer
strengthens the connectionwith the soul, bringing to consciousness more
and more the energy of God’s love.
The high energy of God begins to flow into man as soonas the connection
with the soul is established through the reorientation of consciousnessas
well as listening to inner guidance.
One important meaning of prayer is to openand strengthen the connection
with the soul. Man bathes in prayer in the high energy of God when the
connection to the soul is open.The high Energy of Light received through
the soul cleanses and recharges man in a matter of minutes. Prayer acts
as a powerful raiser of the vibrational level of the mind, emotions,and
whole body.

4. 3. Awareness rising
In the state of prayer consciousness,the internal contradictions and
consuming thought structure of man are unleashed, enabling the
harmonization of differentaspects of being. In the prayer of silence, the
inner contradiction and struggle of man ceases,the mind becomesclearer,
and the tensions of the body are released.Prayer unifies and expands
consciousness.
The highest purpose of prayer is to make the prayer and the objectof
prayer one. This is possible throughlove. Love is the power of the
integration of the universe and the foundation of all forces.
Through prayer, one strengthens the bond of love with God until one is
equal to the high energy of God. Through the integration of the lover, or
prayer, and the Beloved,or God, eventually becomesbliss.Bliss is a high
consciousness ofoneness,which can also be called contemplative prayer.
Contemplative prayer is about being and living in a God where the normal
meaning of praying has changed. In the state of consciousnessof
contemplative prayer, human consciousness has expanded into soul
consciousness.Through the initiation of oneness,man finally redeems his
own divine inheritance, which is a permanent love-bliss consciousness.
