06. TRUE PRAYER<br />

(From "Shrirampur Diary")<br />

True prayer never goes unanswered. It does not mean that every little thing we<br />

ask for from God is readily given to us. It is only when we shed our selfishness<br />

with a conscious effort and approach God in true humility that our prayers find<br />

a response.<br />

In the Ashram prayer nothing is asked. The prayer is for God to make us better<br />

men and women. If the prayer came truly from the heart, God's grace would<br />

surely descend upon us. There is not a blade of grass which moves without His<br />

will, not one single true thought which does not leave a mark on character. It is<br />

good, therefore, to develop the daily habit of prayer.<br />

Harijan, 5-1-'47, p. 479<br />
