Prayer really is a complete meditation and melting into the higher Self

Nama Article 17th August 2010

Mahathma Gandhi


The meaning of prayer is that I want to invoke the Divinity in me. You may describe it as a continual longing to lose myself in the Divinity, which compels us all.


Prayer really is a complete meditation and melting into the higher Self, though one may occasionally lapse into it, as a child would call out to its mother "Ah, Ma!" In such an instance, the greater the distance between the child and its Mother, the greater the longing within the heart of the child. Thus, in the mind of the child, the Mother is present in thought. And thought, you know, has a greater velocity than light.

 

Therefore though the distance between Him and me is told to be so incalculably far, in truth He is so very near.
