PRAYER
Man`s need for prayer is as great as his need for bread. As food is necessary for the body, prayer is necessary for the soul. I have not the shadow of doubt that the strife and quarrels with which our atmosphere is not full today are due to the absence of the spirit of true prayer. True prayer never goes unanswered.
This universe of sentient beings is governed by a Law. When we pray to the Law,we simply yearn after knowing the Law and obeying it, and become what we yearn after.
Atma is that which animates the body. Realization comes through purification. When the mind is full of prayerful thoughts, everything in the world seems good and agreeable. Prayer is essential for progress of life.
The necessity of prayer is a matter of universal experience. Prayer is the greatest binding force, making for the solidarity and oneness of the human family. It is only when we shed our selfishness with a conscious effort and approach god in true humility that our prayers find a response. Hence the necessity for prayers.
