• Prayer benefits us in many ways. Beginning the day with a prayer puts us in a positive and peaceful frame of mind. 

• True prayer is not burdened with rituals. It is not necessary even to go to a place of worship to pray. God is everywhere. Any spot in the house where you sit every morning and pray becomes sanctified and hallowed. It becomes a temple. Not only can you do away with ritual, you don't even need a particular script. In fact, you can make your own prayer in your own words and language which you understand. As for God, He understands every language. He understands even an unspoken prayer, a prayer said in the language of silence. "I humbly claim to be a man of prayer'', said M K Gandhi. "I am indifferent as to the form''.

• If we think peace, there will be peace in the world. If there is violence in the world today, it is because we mostly think violence. 

• When you pray for peace, you get peace. You get peace of mind. An old physician advised his patient to have positive thoughts. "Understand the power of your thoughts'', he said.  "If you think you are sick, you will become sick''. Think of this when you pray. Your prayer is not just your thoughts. It carries your 'strongest' thoughts.
