is sincere and if it proceeds from the bottom of your heart (Antarika), it will at once melt the heart of
the Lord.
Lord Krishna had to run bare-footed from Dvaraka on hearing the heart-felt prayer of
Draupadi. Lord Hari, the mighty ruler of this universe apologised to Prahlad for coming a little late
when the latter prayed. How merciful and loving is the Lord! Do not argue about the efficacy of
prayer. You will be deluded. There is no arguing in spiritual matters. Intellect is a finite and frail
instrument. Remove now the darkness of your ignorance. You will enjoy the unalloyed bliss of the
prayer.
