God is a river of all-purifying, all-transforming, all-healing waters. There is no use of standing on the bank of this river, reciting a few prayers, crying, "Lord, Lord!" Such a prayer is of no consequence. If the prayer has to be effective, the praying person must step into this river, take a dip in these waters. Such a prayer alone is the most fruitful prayer. That drenches us in the waters of all-purifying, all-transforming, all-healing God-consciousness.

Prayer is the greatest need of the soul in us, it is a tremendous power that alone can break all the human chains, bondages and limitations. Man as he is, is a finite individual, exposed to every kind of misery, trial and tragedy from every side. Man is never safe on earth: the only way out for him is somehow to touch the Infinite, somehow to associate himself with this absolute divine Consciousness, to call upon this Godhead within him, around him, everywhere; somehow to attune himself with the Infinite. That 'somehow' is prayer.
