[The Wisdom of Yogananda @wisdomyogananda]

Each phrase offered by Jesus in this profound prayer resonates a perfect harmony with the cosmic idealism of the ancient sacred scriptures of India.…the cosmic truths that validate the defined systems of Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti Yoga.

If you are praying to the Heavenly Father, and suddenly you think that you should be in the kitchen working, just say mentally to that intruding distraction: “Get out!” Start meditating again, and affirm: “Heavenly Father, Thou art with me.”

The unalloyed happiness I find in communion with the Lord no words can describe. Night and day I am in a state of joy. That joy is God. To know Him is to perform the funeral rites for all your sorrows. He does not require you to be stoic and morose.

Those persons who find their lives out of their control, gambled with by hidden karma, should meditate and commune with God and know from Him, through the voice of intuition, the way out of that slavery.

The ability to love purely and unconditionally comes from meditation, from being in love with God and silently conversing with Him in the language of your heart.

Concentration is a broader term than meditation; it can be upon God or upon any other subject. But meditation means concentrating on God alone. Most people apply their mind power to gain specific material things.

No matter what you may be doing you are always free to whisper your love to God, until you consciously receive His response. This is the surest way to contact Him in the mad rush of present-day life.

For those on the Self-Realization Fellowship path, following the guru means to imbue daily scientific meditation with devotion, and to balance that meditation with right activity.

I repeat Thy Name on mystic beads, fashioned of my crystal teardrops and polished with my love for Thee. Come, Spirit, come!

God has given us freedom of thought and privacy in the sanctum of our minds. No one can intrude upon that freedom and privacy. Therein, He has given to each of us the unbounded opportunity to express love for Him and to commune with Him.

Though God has given us freedom, He also realizes that we are still very much hemmed in by our own self-imposed limitations. Therefore, He has given us intelligence through which we can get out of this mess.

After contacting God in meditation I will go about my work, whatever it may be, knowing that He is with me, directing me and giving me power to bring forth that for which I am striving.

If you are constantly thinking that He is walking through your feet, working through your hands, accomplishing through your will, you will know Him.

[The Wisdom of Yogananda @wisdomyogananda]

A blind repetition, taking the name of God in vain, is fruitless. Repeating a demand or prayer over and over again, mentally or orally, and with deepening attention and devotion, spiritualizes the prayer, and changes conscious, believing repetition into superconscious experience.

[The Wisdom of Yogananda @wisdomyogananda]

Banish the thought that the Lord with His wonderful power is far away in heaven, and that you are a helpless little worm buried in difficulties down here on earth. Remember that behind your will is the great Divine Will;

As God is constantly forgiving us, even knowing all our [wrong] thoughts, so those who are fully in tune with Him naturally have that same love.

O yogi! if by one or two divings into the ocean of divine perception you do not find the pearls of God-communion, do not blame the ocean as lacking in the Divine Presence! Rather find fault with your skill in diving!
