"Un hombre rezó y al principio pensó que rezar era hablar. Pero se volvió más y más silencioso hasta que al final se dio cuenta de que rezar es escuchar."

Simplified Meaning:

When people first start praying, they might think it's all about speaking their thoughts and wishes. But over time, they become quieter and more reflective. They start to understand that praying isn't just about saying words; it's also about being still and listening. For example, imagine someone asking for advice from a wise friend. At first, they might do all the talking, explaining their problems and thoughts. However, if they keep talking, they won't hear the valuable advice their friend has to offer. In the same way, when praying, it's important to be open and quiet so that one can sense guidance or peace from within. This quote encourages people to find moments of silence in their prayers to truly connect and understand deeper insights.
