Spiritual Quotes on Prayer

• Ego is a state of no-prayer: egolessness is a state of prayer. It is not a dialogue, it is not even a monologue. It has nothing to do with words; it is wordless silence. It is an open, silent sky; with no clouds, no thoughts. In prayer you are not Hindu or Christian or Mohammedan. In prayer you are not: in prayer God is. - Osho
   
• The prayer God hears is the prayer of the heart, that raising of the heart, that suffering of the heart is what God pays attention to; certainly it is foolish to rely upon the usual religious practices and ritual. What matters is your heart, the prayer that arises from your heart, that is the prayer that Baba hears, that God hears. - Meher Baba
   
• Pray to God. He is full of compassion. Will He not listen to the words of His devotee? He is the Kalpataru. You will get whatever you desire from Him. - Sri Ramakrishna
   
• Worship him as if you could
  see him with your physical eyes;
  though you don't see him,
  he sees you. - Hakim Sanai
   
• The ideal prayer to the Lord is nothing more than spontaneous praise of his being. You praise him, not in the spirit of bargain but in the spirit of self-forgetfulness. - Meher Baba

  Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word. - Rabia
   
• After the birth of one or two children, husband and wife should live as brother and sister and talk only of God. Then both their minds will be drawn to God, and the wife will be a help to the husband on the path of spirituality. None can taste divine bliss without giving up his animal feeling. A devotee should pray to God to help him get rid of this feeling. It. must be a sincere prayer. God is our Inner Controller; He will certainly listen to our prayer if it is sincere. - Ramakrishna
   
• What goes on in the name of prayer is not prayer; it is desire disguised. You go to the temple or to the church and you pray to God; your God is part of your imagination. Your God is not true God; it is a Christian God, it is a Hindu God, it is a Mohammedan God. And how can God be Christian, Hindu or Mohammedan? It is a God that you have created, or your priests on behalf of you. It is a toy, it is not true. - Osho
