1. When a person creates the strong craving in himself, he is in a state of prayer TM 29.
  2. The most important and unfailing means of success is the prayer. It connects our link with God whom we surrender ourselves with love and devotion. In prayer we stand before Him as an humble suppliant presenting to him our true state and completely resigning ourselves to His Will. RD 34
  3. For this , we must snatch a few minutes from our hours of rest (preferably at bed time) and pray to God with a sincere heart for His Guidance and support on the path of duty. If we do it regularly with a heart full of love and devotion, the prayer shall never go unheard. RD 73
  4. Prayer is the sign of devotion with the holy Divine. When we take one as divine-Master we become His serf. TM 17
  5. The reason why prayer should be offered with a heart full of love and devotion is , we should create within us a state of vacuity so that the currents of Divine Grace may descend smoothly. TM 18
  6. Continuous practice brings one gradually to a state in which he feels himself as the prayer itself all through. TM 18
  7. No particular time is fixed for prayer. One may begin to do prayer when one feels his disposition to have become like that. TM 19
  8. It is also a sheer folly to pray to the Great Master for the wordly gains except in the most special cases. TM 20
  9. This pointed attention on the Real Thing may be taken as the Point of Prayer. This alone can be called as the beginning , and the superfluities which we have removed can be called as first state of Prayer. TM 22
  10. The first stage will be found in everybody who starts to do Prayer. But if the final point is kept in view it will influence the grosser things too and gradually he will attain the state where the Original point alone will be before him. TM 23
  11. What method of prayer should be adopted for the benefit of others? The answer is they should be brought to that state which we had developed in us at the time of Prayer. TM 20
