A Man of Prayer
I am neither a man of letters nor of science, but I humbly claim to be a man
of prayer. It is prayer that has saved my life. Without it I would have lost
my reason long ago.
If I did not lose my peace of soul, in the midst of my many trials, it is
because of the peace that came to me through prayer. One can live several
days without food, but not without prayer.
Prayer is the key to each morning and the lock to each evening. It is the
sacred alliance between God and us. It delivers us from the clutches of the
prince of darkness. We have to choose either to ally ourselves with the
forces of evil or the forces of good.
Let everyone try this experience and they will find that daily prayer will
add something new to our lives, something which cannot be found elsewhere.
This is my sacred teaching.
