Sincere and stirring Sensation

Prayer must arise from the depths of the soul. It should not be a vain repetition of empty words with little meaning in them. What we pray for we must really wish for, not only intellectually but from the very core of our being. It must churn the very soul to its depths and the music of prayer should come out and tingle from the very nerves, tissues and fibres of the entire frame making us unmindful and oblivious of everything else beside the sweet music of the soul.

Oh Kabir! why to the minaret goest the Imam for a call, for God is not deaf, why not address thy call to the mind so that it goeth within.

Salok Kabir
