🍀Eruch Jessawala remembered some of the things Meher Baba had mentioned about praying to him. These are not direct quotes, but a paraphrase: About prayers, Baba has always said, pray. It is good to pray. But the prayer that reaches me is not a long list of your wants.That will never reach me. But just say my name. Even if it be just my name, it will reach me. But then, mans heart is such, when it pours out, it pours out in many words. So let those words help you to glorify me. And even if there is a long, long list of all the glories that you attribute to me, that will reach me. But when you pray asking me for something, that prayer does not reach me. But if you ask me and dont expect an answer, then that reaches me too. Sometimes we follow him the way he wants us to, and sometimes we make him follow us, and thats where the trap is... Religions crop up, dogmas form, churches, temples and mosques are built, trying to edify him. But we forget him and adore the mansion of the Lord. As Baba himself has put it, very humorously, you pray, you pray with great devotion, but you pour your devotion into the prayer, and you forget the Lord to whom you pray. You remember the prayer and forget the Lord.💐 from a tape recording, November 7, 1977 The Love Street Lamppost,
