Sayings of Mahatma Gandhi about Prayer.

'GOD is not a person...God is the force. He is the essence of life. He is pure and undefiled consciousness. He is eternal. And yet, strangely enough,
all are not able to derive either benefit from or shelter in the all-pervading living presence.'

'PRAYER is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.'

'FAITH becomes lame, when it venture in to matters pertaining to reason.'

'PRAYER is the only means of bringing about orderliness, peace and repose in our daily acts.'

'I Hope there is no pride in me. I feel I recognize fully my weakness. But my FAITH in God and His strength and love is unshakable. I am like clay in the Potter's hands. I shall continue to confess blunders each time the people commit them. The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority. I believe in the supreme power of God. I believe in Truth and, therefore, I have no doubt in the future of this country or the future of humanity.'

~Mahatma Gandhi

Prayer

BHAKTI-YOGA is a real, genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in Love. One single moment of the madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. “Bhakti,” says Narada in his explanation of the Bhakti “is intense love to God.”—“When a man gets it, he loves all, hates none; he becomes satisfied for ever.”—“This love cannot be reduced to any earthly benefit,” because so long as worldly desires last, that kind of love does not come.
“Bhakti is greater than Karma, greater than Yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means, and its own end.”
