Praying - our soul is attracted by the universal Spirit and our spirit by the universal Soul

When we pray, when we meditate, our soul is drawn toward the universal Spirit and our spirit is attracted by the universal Soul, and when they meet, we experience an overwhelming sense of fulfilment. This meeting is what gives meaning to our prayers and meditation. Why pray, otherwise? Prayer is different from making demands of the Lord such as, ‘I need this. I want that.’ Prayer enables us to find the true dimensions of our being. The meaning of prayer and all spiritual exercises is precisely this meeting between something within us and something of the same nature in the universe. There is an encounter, a meeting of two polarized entities. This encounter is religion’s greatest secret: the human soul in search of the divine Spirit, and the human spirit in search of the universal Soul. Our soul is fertilized by the cosmic Spirit, and our spirit fertilizes the universal Soul. This is the way we become true creators.
