Even if one observes all the rituals of prayer – the five daily prayers, adopting a pious appearance – these acts are ineffective without a revived, communicative spirit. The speaker emphasizes that a connection with the Divine is established through the awakening of the soul and a direct, heartfelt conversation with God.
