Prayer should be a lived experience, a heart-to-heart dialogue. And soon, if it is heartful, you will feel that not only are you talking but the response is there. Then prayer has come into its own, come of age. When you feel the response, that not only you are talking—if it is a monologue it is still not prayer—it becomes a dialogue. You not only speak, you listen. And I tell you the whole existence is ready to respond. Once your heart is open the whole responds.
