The Daily Meditator: September 2005
How To Pray Effectively

From Awaken to Superconsciousness by Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters)

Dear Meditator,

The theme for this month’s Daily Meditator is Effective Prayer. Paramhansa Yogananda said, “God answers all prayers. Restless prayers, however, He answers only a little bit. If you offer to others something that isn’t yours to give, won’t that be a merely empty gesture? If you pray to God, similarly, but lack control over your own thoughts, that prayer will be without power. Thoughts and feelings, both, must be focused when you pray. Otherwise God will meet your little trickle with another trickle of His own! He will dole His answers out to you in a teaspoon. Too often, prayer is more like the halfhearted mumbling of a beggar than the confident, loving demand of a friend.”

The featured article by Swami Kriyananda, “How to Pray Effectively,” will help you learn the art and technique of dynamic and loving prayer.

In this issue:

  • How to Pray Effectively by Swami Kriyananda

May your meditations and love for God bring you the joy you are seeking!


In Divine Friendship,
Bharat Cornell
