Question: Can we say that inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature also prays on their own level?

Answer: Any creature, even the inanimate, not to mention the vegetative, animate, and human, prays. At the heart of all of them is desire, but only a person who is learning how to do this can correctly direct this desire. Then his desire becomes directed correctly and works for his benefit and for the benefit of everyone.

Every creation has Hissaron (lacks, needs), which the Creator created. Thus, the desire of inanimate matter is to preserve its form, and this, in a way, is its request.

A person, however, has the opportunity not only to preserve, but also to change himself, and to ask about it consciously.
