Prayer

The correct prayer, My Master, used to say, is to sit in meditation and silently offer the problem to God - Not Request - just offer the
problem. Let him solve, like you know, you give a computer a problem, it solves it, in whatever way it should. But, what we do is to ask. Suppose, there is some sick person in the house. "Lord, May the sick person be well!" It may be against that person's interest to get well. So, prayers are not answered, you see. The problem is to say, "this person is sick. Let your grace descend on her or him and do whatever you wish. Let your will prevail, not mine!" That is the right prayer.
