Recently, on my birthday, I recieved birthday wishes and this message from a friend on myspace. It really caught me by surprise. Had never looked at "prayer" in this way. It certainly makes a profound statement, which, pretty much makes sense to me. Anyway, take what YOU will from this, and, if nothing else, maybe it will help YOU "opyn your mindz"!
One day suddenly you will be surprised -- you are praying. And then prayer has a beauty of its own when it has a surprise.
A learned prayer is bogus. A learned prayer is Hindu, Christian, Mohammedan.
It is parrotlike, it is mechanical; you repeat it from the head. It does not arise out of your being; it does not come as a surprise.
Real prayer always comes as a surprise.
Suddenly you feel one day an immense urge to bow down... not to anyone in particular but to this beautiful existence itself. And that's how one bows down to god.
Namaste,
