Prayer is calling to the divine being for help and blessings,
Praise is thanking her for it!
Perceptions of a mystic heart
Your seeking will eventually exhaust itself and surrender.
In surrender, personal will fails and
The heart becomes an open door to an empty house
Wherein the beloved, finding her lost lover,
immediately enters - filling it with love.
In these moments when seeker falls absent to seeking,
That which was sought
finds thee who was seeking,
as Love, Lover and Beloved become one.
