If you really want to laugh you will have to learn how to weep. If you cannot weep and if you are not capable of tears, you will become incapable of laughter. A man of laughter is also a man of tears- then a man is balanced. A man of bliss is also a man of silence. A man who is ecstatic is also a man who is centered. They both go together. And out of this togetherness of polarities a balanced being is born. And that is what the goal is.

What is prayer?
PrAyEr iS SpOnTaNeOuS
Prayer is not a technique; it is not a ritual, not a formality. There is no pattern to it. It is a spontaneous outpouring of the heart, so don’t ask how, because there is no how and there cannot be any how to it. Whatsoever happens in the moment is right. Is tears come, good. If you sing, good. If you dance, good. If nothing comes, simply remain silent. Because prayer is not in the expression; it is not in the container, it is in the content. Sometimes silence is a prayer, sometimes singing prayer. It depends on you; it depends on your heart.
