Yogi Bhajan Quotes on Prayer (Part 1)

Prayer is when the mind is one-pointed and man talks to Infinity. Meditation is when the mind becomes totally clean and receptive, and Infinity talks to the man.
~The Aquarian Teacher Training manual

Mantra is the power of the word. Prayer of the man through the power of the word is a manifestation of the Divine Itself. It is the rhythm which creates the vibration. It is the vibration which moves the universe. If you positively move the vibration, the world is yours. There’s nothing standing between you and You.

Each good wish, each prayer, is the power to extend happiness. That is the power of the prayer. There is no power nor worship in this Universe greater than prayer: there is no love other than the prayer.  It is the prayer: it is the worship: it is the devotion. Whosoever knows the art and power of worship will himself become God.

Asking somebody higher to come in—you have been taught this in the Piscean Age. That’s why religion has failed. Religion should have taught you to call on your higher self in prayer.

Prayer is the essence, prayer is the projection, prayer is the destiny and prayer is the life. All power comes from prayer, not from you.

Prayer is tapping energy from my unknown. Whenever you want to reach your own unknown, you pray. And the only channel through which your unknown can reach you for help is the power of your own prayer.
-KRI International Teacher Training Manual Level 2 Conscious Communication 

The classification of prayer is this: a technology within a human being through which the unknown is known, the unseen is seen, the unheard is heard. That is prayer.
