What Should a True Prayer Be Like?

938.03Question: Is prayer the result of the efforts we invest?

Answer: Yes, it is. But we cannot judge it directly. Yet if we truly feel how we unite with one another and sense the heart of the Creator, that will be the result of our efforts.

Question: What should a true prayer be like in order to receive a response from the Creator?

Answer: A prayer for connection with the Creator, for adhesion with Him, for Him to truly be your Creator.

I believe that we must feel our interconnection. Then our collective prayer will help each one sense that they are within the heart of the Creator.

The Prayer of Many and the Prayer for the Many

945Question: What is the difference between the prayer of many and the prayer for the many?

Answer: I think there isn’t much of a difference. Of course, they can be perceived somewhat differently, but in essence, if it is a prayer of many, it is already the correct prayer because it rises to the Creator from all hearts together.

What can such a prayer be about? For the many. That is, in this prayer, many ask that their hopes and desires unite and ascend to the Creator, and that the Creator would respond to them and act in such a way as is needed for them so that they may become as close as possible to one another and to the Creator.

Thus, the prayer of the many already contains within it the prayer for the many.

Questions about Spiritual Work—265

281.02Question: What kind of prayer should it be if I need to give my heart to the ten, but it feels like a stone?

Answer: Then your prayer should be such that it dissolves the stony heart, turns it into a living one, and the Creator fills it.

Question: It is said, “Better death than such a life,” referring to a person driven to despair by his suffering. But the sources speak of spiritual suffering, not material. How can we transform material suffering in the heart into spiritual suffering?

Answer: If we understand what life and suffering mean, then it is not difficult to imagine what spiritual life and spiritual suffering are. That is within our power.

Question: Can a prayer exist without a request, as pure gratitude?

Answer: Yes, a prayer may consist only of gratitude.

Question: Is prayer a person’s private address to the Creator or is it an address from the unity of the ten?

Answer: It is your collective appeal to the Creator, one for which you seek a shared response.

“Day And Night” In Spiritual Work

207It is said: “Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.” This speaks about the impressions we accumulate from the passing days and nights, that is, from the spiritual levels we go through and the sensations showing us where they lead. As a result, we reach the point where a Kli forms within us, and we can feel the true state we are in.

In other words, day and night are the states we receive on the path toward the Creator. Therefore, we should not worry about anything except that these states follow one another. And then we will pass through them quickly and easily.

Toward a True Prayer

232.1Question: How can we reach the state from which a true and complete prayer arises? What must it contain and, perhaps, what must be absent from it?

Answer: We can reach such a state only when there is emptiness within us that we long to fill with the sensation of the Creator. Only then. Moreover, what we are now studying and trying to express in words, that itself is a prayer directed straight to the Creator.

Do not stray from it! Stay with it constantly! Feel how it fills you, and then you will sense how to truly reach this state.

In Search of the Common Heart

963.6Question: Many tens, especially new groups, are trying to understand what the right prayer should be. What would you advise them?

Answer: We need to open our hearts to one another, fill the hearts of others through us, and unite them. Then we will receive one unified heart with one unified intention, and the Creator will surely feel it. He will turn to us and fill us with His light.

Question: So they should be seeking this common heart, this shared Hissaron, day by day?

Answer: Of course. I would even say every second, every moment.

We must feel that we are connected in one unified heart, which the Creator raises higher and higher.
