Mans highest world of values reflects the highest spiritual conception of love, therefore the focus of true prayer should be in the heart. The most important thing is the love and devotion of the heart, not the external way in which prayer is performed. Through prayer, one strengthens the bond of love with God until one is equal to the high energy of God. Through the integration of the lover, or prayer, and the Beloved, or God, eventually becomes bliss. Bliss is a high consciousness of oneness, which can also be called contemplative prayer.
