“There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
— Victor Hugo
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, our thoughts and wishes are so strong and sincere that they are like silent prayers. Imagine a time when you're really worried about a loved one or hoping for something deeply important to you. Even if you're not speaking out loud or kneeling, your mind is filled with heartfelt hopes. Your soul, or inner self, is showing the same humility and earnestness as it would in a traditional prayer position. For example, when a parent waits for news about their child's health, the deep concern and hope in their thoughts reflect a prayerful state. Understanding this means recognizing that true feelings and desires often communicate more profoundly than physical actions. So, even when life gets busy and you can't always find quiet moments, know that your sincere thoughts still reach deeper truths.
