Yogananda Paramahansa Words of Wisdom

8110404067?profile=originalWhenever something bothers you, meditate.

 

The consciousness of a perfected yogi is effortlessly identified, not with a narrow body, but with the universal structure.

 

Cosmic law cannot be stayed or changed, and man would do well to put himself in harmony with it.

 

To rise above the duality of creation and perceive the unity of the Creator was conceived of as man's highest goal.

 

As long as you are making the effort, God will *never* let you down.

 

Once you've convinced your mind that you really want to meet God in the inner silence, it will be easy for you to sit still and to meditate deeply.

 

The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God

 

A very strong mind, however, can transcend all physical difficulties and attain to God-realization. Many saints have ignored illness and succeeded in their divine quest. St. Francis of Assisi, severely afflicted with ailments, healed others and even raised the dead.

 

Never count your faults. Just see that your love for God is deeply sincere. For God doesn't mind your imperfections: He minds your indifference.

 

Shankara the great monist has written. "Where there is duality by virtue of ignorance, one sees all things as distinct from the Self. When everything is seen as the Self, then there is not even an atom other than the Self.

A yogi who through perfect meditation has merged his consciousness with the Creator perceives the cosmical essence as light; to him there is no difference between the light rays composing water and the light rays composing land.

 

The monastic regulations do not allow a swami to retain connection with worldly ties after their formal severance. He cannot perform the ceremonial family rites which are obligatory on the householder.

 

Men of God-realization like Trailanga allow the divine law to operate instantaneously; they have banished forever all thwarting crosscurrents of ego.

 

Train your mind to say instantly, 'I will!' Only then think how to accomplish what has been asked of you.

 

To find freedom, we must calm the waves of emotion, and dwell ever calmly in the consciousness of love and joy.8110404262?profile=original

 

Never pray for anything of this world until you have first prayed successfully to know God. Pray until you have attained God; then your prayers will be guided by wisdom, not by the inclinations of habits.

 

For the devotee, it is natural to worship God in some human aspect:as His Divine Mother, for example, or as His Heavenly Father... Of course, in the highest sense God is none of the forms in which people worship Him. But it is helpful to use human concepts as a means of deepening our devotion to Him. Beyond devotion comes divine love.

 

After meditation, the longer and more deeply you enjoy the peace within, the more quickly will your intuition develop.

 

Praise cannot make me any better. Blame cannot make me any worse. I am what I am before my conscience and God.8110403870?profile=original

 

The entire phenomenal world is under the inexorable sway of polarity; no law of physics, chemistry, or any other science is ever found free from inherent opposite or contrasted principles.

 

Lord Buddha was once asked why a man should love all persons equally. "Because," the great teacher replied, "in the very numerous and varied lifespans of each man, every other being has at one time or another been dear to him.

 

‎When traveling on the ocean, one comes upon areas, here or there, where the sea is calm. Even so, on the great ocean of delusion one finds, occasionally, areas of exceptional calmness. This happens when an avatar, or divine incarnation, is sent to earth with a special dispensation. All who come to him and tune in to his spirit find it relatively easy to escape delusion's power.

  • why bother

  • This does not jive with today's humanist philosophy which of course is nonsense, a waste of time, and most of all an evil lure to keep thee and me in darkness! long live Yogananda!!
