In this meditation you can experience prayer as an energy phenomenon, not a devotion to God but a merging, an opening.

Prayer is often misunderstood as an act of speaking to a deity, a plea for intervention or a gesture of worship. But prayer, in its deepest essence, is not about the outward projection towards a God, but rather an inward dive into the very core of your being.

When Osho talks about prayer as an energy phenomenon, he is pointing towards an experience that transcends the traditional frameworks of religion and belief. It is about recognising and accessing the profound energy that resides within you – a pure, vibrant, and omnipresent force that is the very underpinning of existence.

To merge in prayer is to let go of the egoic self, the ‘I’, which constantly separates and distinguishes you from the whole. In this letting go, in this opening, there is a convergence, much like a drop of water returning to the ocean. You become not the one who prays, but the prayer itself. It is an existential communion where the boundaries that define ‘you’ dissolve, and in that dissolution, you are not merely communicating with the divine – you are the divine itself.

In such a state, there is no petition, no supplication, but a silent and profound merging with the energy that is life itself. It is a state of pure awareness, pure love, and pure consciousness. This is not something one can achieve through effort, but through relaxation, through an allowance and acceptance of what is, in its totality.

This meditation, then, is a method to experience the sacredness of existence directly, not as an idea, not as a belief, but as a living reality. It teaches you to move beyond the mind, with its incessant chatter and constant need for validation, into the silent core of your being where you find the eternal. Here, prayer becomes a silent communion – a gentle melting into the oneness of life.
