My grandfather once explained in a maamar the statement, R. Elazar first gave a coin to a pauper and then davened1: "Davening must be with life.

So saying he motioned with his hand in an upwards gesture to indicate that the increase is beyond imagination. Indeed my father would often seek out a pauper before davening to give him food.
