1. By prayer one’s subtle powers are easily roused.
2. What good is it, if we acknowledge in our prayer that God is the Father of us all and in our daily lives does not treat every man as our brother?
3. Prayer and praise are the first means of growth.
4. The feeling of want is the real prayer, not the words. But you must patience to wait and see if your prayers are answered.
5. Despondency is not religion, whatever else it may be by being pleasant always and smiling, it takes you nearer to God, nearer than any prayer.
6. Mother is the first manifestation of power…She is the sum total of the energy in the universe…Established in the idea of mother, we can do anything. She quickly answers prayer.
7. When a man prays to God, ‘Give me this, and give that’, it is not love. How can it be? I offer you a prayer and you give me something in return; that is what it is, mere shop-keeping.
8. Is prayer a magic formula, by repeating which, even if you do not work hard, you gain miraculous results? No. All have to work hard; all have to reach depths of that infinite energy. It is not that one man works hard, and another by repeating a few words achieves results. This universe is a constant prayer. If you take prayer in this sense, I am with you. Words are not necessary. Better is silent prayer.

An Interview With God!!!!
I dreamed I had an INTERVIEW WITH GOD.
“So, you would like to interview me?” GOD asked.
“If you have time,” I said.
GOD smile. “My time is eternity… what questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you the most about humankind?”
GOD answered…
“That they get bored with childhood, that they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money… and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”
“That they live as if they would never die, and die as though they had never lived.”
GOD’s hand took mine… and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
GOD replied, “To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing, and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your time,” I said humbly.
“Is there anything else you would like your children to know?”
GOD smiled, and said… “Just know that I am here.” “Always.”
