Purpose of prayers

From the Bhakti List Archives

Mani writes

Most of the mantras and compositions end with the sloka
on the results that are expected from them Saharanamam is
a good example: sick relief from pain, artha-seekers wealth
and so on.
I recall a family llore, a cousin of mine at 12 or 13 filled up
his examination paper with Sri Ramajayam instead of anwers.
He might have flunked the test but was fairly successful
in life.
One is agoal seeker of mundane things or moksha. And our
prayers do promise relief. And acharyas do advice prayers
and anushtanams.
All our attempts are effectively ways to satisfy our own
thoughts, which are controlled by the PUPPETEER.
