Seeking God Now

Daya Mata on

Self-realization;

"You cannot reason your way into Self-Realization.
You cannot think you way into God-realization.
You can arrive at those exalted states only by using the concentrated mind in meditation, going beyond the intellect to perceive through the power of the soul’s sixth sense.

“The freedom and joy and wisdom, the understanding, the love --- everything that your heart has ever craved—is waiting for you in God.”

Sri Daya Mata.” from her talk on -"Exploring the inner world of the Spirit."

Self-Realization today

From Yoganandas poem "Samadhi "

From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt. Ocean of mind, I drink all creation's waves. Four veils of solid, liquid, vapor, light, Lift aright. I, in everything, enter the Great Myself. Gone forever: fitful, flickering shadows of mortal memory; Spotless is my mental sky--below, ahead, and high above; Eternity and I, one united ray. A tiny bubble of laugher, I Am become the Sea of Mirth Itself."

From Paramahansa Yogananda's wisdom;

"We are all part of the one spirit.
When you experience the true meaning of religion,
which is to know God,

you will realize that He is your real self,and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings."

Message to a New Devotee

From Yogananda's handwritten letter about being loyal to SRF and Kriya Yoga practice.

“I am sending to you immediately the wonderful things that came to me about Kriya Yoga and Pranayama.
Please strictly refrain from describing the technique of Kriya Yoga, which I indelible a part of our work for disciples only ………Kriya yoga indeed has a very popular appeal…..Everybody is anxious to receive it after reading the book Autobiography of a Yogi, and I am giving it to them only after they have received their foundation in the Preacepta lessons……..The science of Kriya Yoga is mentioned in the book but the road to Kriya yoga will be learned from SRF/YSS Headquarters.”
“ This is not the end of your relationship with SRF or Kriya Yoga – but the beginning. Keep contact with headquarters and you will be linked with the masters, by which salvation is reached quickly…….

Some take Kriya Yoga and become fully satisfied and forget all about the link with the Masters – they will never reach God.”

“Kriya Yoga is the fastest airplane route to God, but it has to be piloted by the gurus – SRF teachings regularly received.”

Paramahansa Yogananda……….
