This month I am most moved to share these comments from Yogananda: “Above all, remember that the right method of meditation is the only way to all-round freedom and success. It would be a tiresome long hike by foot from New York to Los Angeles and would take months to accomplish, but by fast airplane it would take only a few hours. Aren't you tired of prayer-hiking to God through the unexplored, tortuous, theological jungle? Why not take the airplane of high meditation and follow the shortest Yoga path to God? “Many people pray ineffectively all their lives with chicken dinners, auto rides, movies or money-making schemes in the background of their minds, and consequently they do not reach God. They say: ‘Oh, well, I try to enter the silence but as soon as I sit for ten minutes to concentrate all my thoughts seem to crowd in and keep my attention from marching Godward.’ “This is due to the same above-mentioned reason why some people do all things imperfectly because of carelessness, inertia, and lack of sustained purpose. Get a good teacher (a Guru), decide on the best and quickest method of meditation as taught by the great saints and master-minds of India, and then meditate deeper and deeper every day, praying to God with a burning heart:‘Reveal Thyself!,’ Continue to do this day after day, month after month, and year after year in good faith and you will find that you have at last realized God Consciousness.” Paramhansa Yogananda Let's renew our efforts!

Inspiration from Yogananda “An even-minded individual is like a mirror of discretion reflecting the true nature of seemingly favorable and unfavorable events. He thus holds himself in readiness to act wisely and properly without being misled by emotional disturbances.” From: Inner Culture Magazine, 1938

“Human vision beholds individuality and separation everywhere. Divine vision beholds the oneness of cosmic vibration, of which all things, no matter how diverse, are manifestations. Cosmic Sound - the “Word” of God - and Cosmic Light: These are eternal. The world, as revealed to us by our senses, is illusory.” From: Rays of the One Light How to Achieve Glowing Health and Vitality May 20 - 25, 2012 Find increased wellness and joy in your life!
