Mystics at Prayer

“The great mystics of all ages understood the real processes of prayer and knew how to pray. Christians have the beautiful example of the prayer given by Jesus, the Christ, as a standard; and it is a most beautiful standard. But long before the Christian era, the Mystics, the Avatars, and those through whom the Light of God shone among men, knew by divine inspiration how to pray.”

Should prayers consist of a categorical representation of details or a long list of the things that we feel we want? Most of us go into prayer with the idea that we must advise the Divine, argue with, stress our viewpoint, and convince, or at least urge the Divine, to adopt our ideas and decisions and grant what we plead for.

According to the mystical viewpoint, praying to the Divine is based upon the conviction that the Divine is omnipotent in power, present everywhere, and willing to listen to our sincere petitions. The process of prayer is a transcendent method of communion with the Divine.
