Mohan-Mala - Mahatma Gandhi

Mohan-MalaMay 9Our prayer is a heart search. It is a reminder to ourselves that we are helplesswithout His support. No effort is complete without prayer without a definiterecognition that the best human Endeavour is of no effect if it has not God'sblessing behind. Prayer is a call to humility. It is a call to self-purification, toinward search.H, 8 June 1935May 10There are limits to the capacity of an individual and the moment he flattershimself that he can undertake all tasks, God is there to humble his pride.YI, 12 March 1931May 11Man is a falling being. He can never be sure of his steps. What he may regard asanswer to prayer may be an echo of his pride. For infallible guidance man hasto have a perfectly innocent heart incapable of evil.YI, 25 Sept. 1931May 12Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds somethingnew to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.YI, 24 Sept. 1924May 13There are subjects where reason cannot take us far and we have to acceptthings on faith. Faith then does not contradict reason but transcends it. Faith isa kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview ofreason.www.mkgandhi.org Page 37
