We can imagine what the prayer to the Creator should consist of. We can discuss it in general. But why is it so difficult to utter these words that address Him? I have to feel myself, and myself as a part of the group, see their contribution, and the impression of the Creator that I receive through them. I gather all these impressions inside, and use them to turn to the Creator through the ten.
I have to put it all through my heart. Whenever the heart is unable to do the work, I help with my mind, my thoughts. It is best for it to be the work of the heart, for the mind to merely support the heart when I cannot feel my mind at all, working exclusively with the senses.
This is how we must work throughout the day, every day, gathering inspiration from all the friends. I do not even need to physically meet with them for that. My friends are in my heart, and I exert effort to feel them, become inspired, and feel the Creator, common to us all, within such inspiration. With this inspiration from the Creator that I receive through my friends, I pass the prayer back to Him, MAN, also through my friends. This is the circle of our work.
