“The Lover, the one seeking the Beloved, is actually the Beloved itself.” Rumi. We as Lover are seeking the Beloved but it is actually the God in us that becomes the real Lover. This play of Love goes on and on.
When this Cosmic event of falling us Love with someone, in our eyes they become perfect. ‘The energy of Love’ has descended in our being and they have become an object of Pure Beauty and we become that Beauty that God Loves . . . And we discover the image of God, even for a second, in the ourselves and others and of course, in Nature . . .
Prayer is our supreme act of Love, our human offering. And even the prayer of petition, has hidden in it, this offering, that the human makes to the Divine Sovereign. I recognize that you created me in your image and I bow to Thee knowing, knowing with consciousness that you created me to be you. That you created me as a seed of you.
In prayer we deliver God from God’s descent into matter and multiplicity, into duality into to individualization by ascending to the contemplation of God’s eternality beyond all existence. So in real prayer what we do is release the Divine from the prison that we are, even though the prison is created by the Divine and in that moment of release both we are free and God is free. This is the experience of samadhi, moksha, liberation. This is moment of Divine death — the death of limitation, releasing the infinite. And our physical death is a miniaturization of this. We release the hold the body has on the soul and the your wings of unity fly again.
One World 
There is something so delightful that ‘samadhi’ is a two way street, with finite and infinite meeting in a burst of pure release, pure freedom, and resulting in an after taste of the Peace That Passeth Understanding.
