As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open.
Hazrat Inayat KhanPrayer from the depth and prayer from the surface are two prayers. One can utter what Christ has called 'vain repetitions', just repeating the prayer; one does not fix one's mind on the meaning of the prayer. If the depth of one's heart has heard the prayer, God has heard it.
