Gautam Chawalla's Correspondence with The Mother

30 September 1966

What is the power of a prayer?

Prayer, if it is sincere and spontaneous, has the same power as aspiration. I am talking about prayer that arises spontaneously from the heart, not about prayer that is memorised and repeated more or less mechanically, because that has a very diminished power and almost no effectiveness.
