And while many translate this to mean don't make such an obvious spectacle of praying in public, For me, the "inner room" is deep within. In deep, silent communion.

And it is timeless and universal:

"Be still and know I am God" - Ps. 46:10 (my favorite: those seven words speak volumes. Each word a prayer in itself that builds, changes, and becomes a new and different prayer with the addition of each successive word)

"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." - Jesus

"Look within; thou are the Buddha." - Buddha

"Atman (then inner essence of the individual) and Brahman (the ultimate Truth) are one." - Hindu Tradition

"He who knows himself knows The Lord." - Muhammad

Can you tell it's getting late for me? Time to go to my room, go to my "inner room" for awhile and then to sleep!

Good night and God Bless all of you out there.

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
