In prayer, you have a conversation with a mythical self
In meditation, you know your inner self ..
In prayer, you ask or express gratitude for something or someone
In meditation, you understand why do you ask anything and that there is no-one ..
In praying, you do something
In meditation, you do nothing ..
The consequence of a prayer is a hope for something
The consequence of meditation is clarity about everything ..
Prayer is about “what”
Meditation is about the “why” behind the what ..
Praying is a momentary activity
Meditation is a permanent quality ..
You pray for miracles
You meditate to realize that you are the miracle ..
In prayer, you are the doer
In meditation, you are the Viewer of the doer !!
