11. WHY I LAY STRESS ON PRAYER<br />

(From a prayer speech : May 30, 1945)<br />

I lay stress on prayers because I believe in a Higher Power. Birth is not just an<br />

accident. Each man has to reap the fruits of his Karma. Life and death are in<br />

God's hands. It would be a good thing if we can think of God throughout the<br />

day; but as this is not possible, we should remember Him at least for a few<br />

minutes daily. If we do not express gratitude for many bounties of Providence<br />

daily, life ceases to have any meaning.<br />

(From Press Report : April 3, 1945)<br />

Every religion proclaims that man is not man if he praises not his Maker.<br />
