אות - רצג

I heard in his name from a certain man that he spoke with him and warned him to pray with intention. And he told him that just as the voice arouses the intention,[464] so too in the opposite direction — the intention arouses the voice. That is: when one prays with intention and is careful to put all one's heart and thought into the words of the prayer — then automatically one's voice is aroused to pray aloud as is proper. And this is indeed perceptible to the senses in many cases. 464. RAK: Shla"h [Shnai Luchos HaBris]; and in Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, section 6.
