God's Response to Our Prayers..

"Through that touch, the individual became pregnant, like Mary, with a heart-beguiling Messiah.
Not the Messiah who is a traveller on land and water, but the Messiah who is beyond the limitation of measuring space....
These sayings of mine, indeed, are really an "O Lord", a prayer addressed to God. The words are the lure for the  breath of a sweet-lipped One.
How then should the one that seeks an answer fail to pray?
How should he be silent, inasmuch as "Here I am" is always coming in response to his "O Lord"?
It is a "Here I am" that you cannot hear, but can taste and feel and enjoy from head to foot."

Rumi (Vol. 2 1184-1292)

Commentary: Being a Unitarian, I'd just as soon hear God, or even better, be able to think about God, or talk about God. Rumi suggests that for right now, we'll need to "settle" for tasting the divine, feeling that presence, and enjoying the grace that falls on us from head to foot.
