Psychological Consideration of the Phenomenon of Prayer

 

Psychologically, it should be remembered that prayer is not merely

uttering of words but an intense and sincere feeling of and a

longing for contact with a Power which is all pervading, which

includes everything within itself and which is the most real of all

beings. The nature of thinking and feeling is such that it is not

possible to think of or feel anything without transforming the

psychological organ into the mode of the object which is thought or

felt. And because, in the case of prayer, the object if infinite

Power itself, the mind takes such a powerful mode, that the devotee

gets endowed with superhuman powers in addition to his achieving the

purpose for which the prayer is offered.
