The seeker will profit during his hours of distress or difficulty, whether inward or outward, by pronouncing a mantric affirmation and then making his prayer of petition in a general way. A particular thing should not be included in the prayer. For example, in the case of an environmental want, the affirmation could be: "Within me there is all I need." This kind of petition is a far higher form of prayer and a far more successful one than the common begging for a specific relief or object or change.
