Striking the same chimes

"A man sat and listened to an organist playing a beautiful melody. He said that behind the organ he cld see a man striking upon bells the same notes the organ was playing. So in addition to the tones of the organ were the tones of the chimes, forming a beautiful accompaniment. Prayer is like that--it means we are striking the same notes as God. We thus become a part of a universal harmony--the music of the spheres. Our litle notes are caught up and universalised. Prayer puts us in tune with the Infinite, and then Infinite power works through our finiteness.
Milton summed it up when he said, 'By small accomplishing great things'.
