Sir, I think you missed to explain 🙄last part of the sentence (but still it has a real power and significance) yesterday.

Yes, even a crudely formulated childish prayer has in it a real power. This power of the prayer lies in the bhaava, the inner state from which it emerges. Its significance lies in the fact that it brings us in contact with the Divine. It is like reaching the river or the sea. Whether a person came with dirt upon his body or all neat and clean, the river still would cleanse. So too even a crudely formulated prayer can bring us in contact with the Divine which will eventually have a cleansing effect upon us.

Often when I go into solitude for meditation🧘‍♀️ for a prolonged period interesting things happen. Prophetic dreams, etc. 1.5 years ago I was down with covid and couldn’t see anyone for a week. I was feeling very bad and spent entire days sleeping. One day, I woke up from such a heavenly dream that I will never forget that experience. The dream was very very simple — it was me walking around some “school” if it can even be called that” with a few friends. The location was in some picturesque place in the nature. And I literally felt when I woke up that I wish I had NEVER woken up. It was such a deep feeling of loss that I experienced when I woke up because what I felt in the dream was just absolute Bliss. There is simply no other way to describe that state. And I bet in life there is no experience that can compare with the state of supreme serenity, absolute happiness, and joy beyond all imagination. Just wanted to share this because I haven’t felt that way since, and I still don’t know why that beautiful experience came in the middle of my illness. Could it be that my mind was completely shut off at that point in time, so I could experience something much deeper?
