In some religions and spiritual systems one does not kneel and they may or do have their reasons and I don't know them so I can't make any remark in relation to those religions or schools or systems etc.
But in Gnosis to not ever kneel is strange. Especially when we see others kneeling all the time and we learn that the masters knelt praying and begging for help so many times in life and even most of all of a day or a night.
Why not kneel? The obvious answer everyone would come up with is pride. Lack of humility. Yes that's why but why a lack of humility?
The answer is because of skepticism! One does not believe or recognise the Divinity, the purity, the transcednence in who one prays to and so one does not show their respect by kneeling. Because of skepticism one does not have respect.
To kneel shows that one respects deeply who one is praying to and also respects one's reality knowing that one needs help.
Often kneeling with sincerity and true deep respect moves many things in us and outside of us. That's why the skeptical person is frozen and blocked.
