Question

His answer filled me with a strange energy and enthusiasm". who is the speaker? whose answer is being referred to her? what was the answer

Answer 1

• Kalam is the speaker here.

• Kalam's father's answer is being referred to here.

• Kalam wanted to know from his father why he did not respond to the people approaching him for help and advised that there was nothing mysterious about prayer. His father answered that every recurrent anguish, longing and desire finds its own helper. And he only played the role of a middle man or helper  to appease people's demonic tendencies with offerings and prayers. He just wanted to give them mental strength. Hearing the answer, Kalam was amazed and filled with wonder.
