Excerpt from Why Men Pray

Definitions are always dangerous, especially when they attempt to hem in the meaning of something great and vital. We cannot define the most important realities, such as God and Love and Faith: we may know them, but we can say only a little of what we know and feel. Prayer is only less hard to define than these greatest words, and no definition ought to be found satisfactory. Nevertheless, it may help a little at the start if we define Prayer roughly as Talking with the Unseen. We need not now ask whether the Unseen is to the man who prays a vague something outside himself, or whether it is the Supreme Personality, God.
