you depart out, He will enter it. In you, void of yourself, will He display His beauties.
We go to temples, mosques, churches and we build these fine structures. They become places of worship and are places to sit quietly and remember God. However, God does not live in the temple, church or mosque. The Divine temple of God is the body and He resides in the inner chamber of the heart. The Body is the mosque and within we will find Allah.
True Prayer
Once we have understood the true place of worship, we can discuss the true nature of prayer. We say prayers, but, what is a prayer in reality?
A Muslim poet says:
True prayer is bringing joy to sick and suffering beings. True prayer is giving refuge to one who has no refuge. We have learned from touching the mentor's holy feet (learning under their tutelage), that if you desire to find God, you must know yourself (your own true nature).
