In The Heart of Prayer, Rupert Spira elaborates on the
understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in
the knowing of our own being. Drawing on the wisdom of Being Aware
of Being Aware and Being Myself, this new volume explores another
essential aspect of meditation-that which is known as union with
God and traditionally approached through prayer. The belief shared
by most people that we are a separate person, a tiny part of a vast
world, leads us to project the idea of God beyond the world, at an
infinite distance from ourselves. As this person, we enter into a
devotional relationship with God, we surrender to God. When,
through an understanding of our self as unlimited, intimate being,
God's being, the sole reality of all that is, we see that we are
not separate from God. Our longing for God is found to be God's
longing for us. The meditations in this volume are followed by
dialogues in which analogies and practical examples help to clarify
the teaching. Throughout The Heart of Prayer, Spira interlaces his
contemplations with his own invocations-as well as teachings,
prayers, and poetry gathered from centuries of great works and
sacred texts-creating a rich experience of the unity of the
perennial non-dual understanding.
