‘The spokesperson of life’
Prayer is not serious at all. If it is serious it is not prayer; it is something pseudo pretending to be prayer.
Prayer is childlike innocence. Prayer is playfulness, cheerfulness joyousness.
And when prayer is nothing but rejoicing, then there is no point in keeping a separate time for it or doing it in the church every Sunday or every morning and evening in the temple or five times a day, like Mohammedans. If cheerfulness is prayer, then one can be cheerful twenty-four hours a day.
And one should be in communion with god for twenty-four hours a day; less than that won't do. It is not possible to be prayerful for one hour, and for twenty-three hours just the opposite. But that's what the whole world is doing.
When you see people in the churches they are totally different people. When you meet the same people in their offices and in their shops unbelievable that these are the same people! How humble they were looking kneeling down in the church and praying to god, and now how aggressive, arrogant, egoistic, they are! And what they are for twenty -- three hours a day is their reality; that one hour is bogus, pretended.
But the whole of humanity is somehow living in deep hypocrisy. Not only are people deceiving each other, they are even trying to deceive god by creating a false prayer. What is one doing? - one is trying to cheat even god. And that is the ugliest thing even to imagine.
