An old man would sit motionless for hours on end in church. One day a priest asked
him what God talked to him about.
“God doesn’t talk. He just listens,” was his reply.
“Well, then what do you talk to him about?”
“I don’t talk either. I just listen.”
The four stages of Prayer;
I talk, you listen.
You talk, I listen.
Neither talks, both listen.
Neither talks, neither listens: Silence
🙂
The Sufi Bayazid Bistami describes his progress in the art of prayer: “The first
time I visited the Kaaba at Mecca, I saw the Kaaba. The second time I saw the Lord
of the Kaaba. The third time I saw neither the Kaaba nor the Lord of the Kaaba.”
