Prayer 06. TRUE PRAYER (From "Shrirampur Diary") True prayer never goes unanswered. It does not mean that every little thing we ask for from God is readily given to us. It is only when we shed our selfishness with a conscious effort and approach God in true humility that our prayers find a response. In the Ashram prayer nothing is asked. The prayer is for God to make us better men and women. If the prayer came truly from the heart, God's grace would surely descend upon us. There is not a blade of grass which moves without His will, not one single true thought which does not leave a mark on character. It is good, therefore, to develop the daily habit of prayer. Harijan, 5-1-'47, p. 479 www.mkgandhi.org Page 20
Prayer 07. TRUE WORSHIP We have forgotten God and we worship Satan. A man's duty is to worship God. Telling one's beads is no symbol of that worship; neither is going to mosque or temple, nor saying the namaz 1 or the gayatri These things are all right as far as they go. It is necessary to do the one or the other according to one's religion. But by themselves they are no indication of one's being devoted to God in worship. He alone truly adores God who finds his happiness in the happiness of others, speaks evil of none, does not waste his time in the pursuit of riches, does nothing immoral, who acquits himself with others as with a friend, does not fear the plague or any human being. [From Gujarati: Indian Opinion, 15-7-1911] The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi—XI, (1964), p. 126 "As is the God, so is the votary", is a maxim worth considering. Its meaning has been distorted and men have gone astray. ... I am not likely to obtain the result flowing from the worship of God by laying myself prostrate before Satan. If, therefore, anyone were to say: "I want to worship God; it does not matter that I do so by means of Satan", it would be set down as ignorant folly. We reap exactly as we sow. Hind Swaraj, (1962), p. 71 (From "For Christian Friends") We are all children of the same God. "Verily verily I say unto you, not everyone that sayeth unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven shall enter the Kingdom", was said, though in different words, by all the great teachers of the world.
