'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'í Prayers, p. 69 Krishnamurti’s mention of prayer and the flame of awareness reminded me of this passage from a Bahá’í prayer:

“Reveal then Thyself, O Lord, by Thy merciful utterance and the mystery of Thy divine being, that the holy ecstasy of prayer may fill our souls—a prayer that shall rise above words and letters and transcend the murmur of syllables and sounds – that all things may be merged into nothingness before the revelation of Thy splendor.”
