Prayer not only must be used as a suitable preface to
meditation, but may also be effectively used as a help
to meditation. Where an aspirant is unable to calm his
restless thoughts, in addition to the constant daily
regular effort to do so--for perseverance is part of
the secret of success--he may pray to the higher self
to take possession of his mind. Such prayer must be
deeply heartfelt, constantly repeated, and animated by
a longing to get away from the peaceless ego.
