19. “One of the important functions of prayer, I believe, is to act as a stimulus to creative ideas. Within the mind are all the resources required for successful living. Ideas are present in the consciousness, which when released and given scope to grow and take shape, can lead to successful events. Within us there is a great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps to tap and develop these powers.” - Wings of Fire: An Autobiography of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
