Remember, the first road to God is prayer, the second is joy.
A prayer couched in the words of the soul, is far more powerful than any ritual.
Traditional religions practices are important.They allow us to share with others the communal experience of adoration and prayer,but we must never forget spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love,and with love,there are no rules some may try to control their emotions and develop strategies for their behavior,others may turn to reading books of advice from "experts" on relationships but this is all folly.The heart decides and what it decides is all that really matters.
When he is forced to perform the same task several times, the Warrior uses this tactic and transforms work into prayer.
The Lord heareth the prayers of those who ask to put aside hatred. But he is deaf to those who would flee from love.
