Question : Mota, There is a saying that prayers can move mountains. If that is the case, please explain to us — when and how to do prayers.
Pujya Shree Mota : Yes, that is true. Many have experienced that certain work that seems to be impossible or take very long time, is achieved by the strength of the prayers. For that we need to have intense desire and self interest for the prayers. Without that there is no true expression of the prayers. The soul that prays with heartfelt sincerity, profound humility, sense of urgency and takes its shelter is never disheartened. If the Sadhak has mastered the art of the prayers, he gets strength, inspiration, compassion, patience and courage from it. There is lessening of the faults in the work (Karma) and there is increase in the inspirational good thoughts. Prayers can be done while performing any work. It is an easy, natural and best tool.
