vatar Adi Da describes two dimensions of truly effective prayer: ecstasy and
responsibility. If you surrender into the Living Divine Reality through ecstasy—and responsibly purify and balance body, emotion, mind, and breath—then you
will inevitably participate in the positive transformation of personal and collective
existence.
If you enter into True Prayer, . . . things will work to the good. Not because God
likes people who do this sort of thing and rewards them—but because of the Law,
because of the Nature of the Divine, because of the Condition of this phenomenon
of human existence. It is a psycho-physical phenomenon, therefore it is responsive to
psycho-physical changes. . . .
Of course, this is not an end in itself. It is simply an extension of the life of God-
Communion—which is “self”-transcending and, ultimately, transcends the “world”
altogether.
