The Wisdom of Yogananda

Two disciples, unjustly angry with one of their brothers, took their complaints to the Master. He listened in silence. When they were through, he said,“Change yourselves"

The Wisdom of Yogananda

We do not know when the heart is going to fail. Hence comes the necessity of a fearless reliance on our true immortal Self and on the Supreme Deity in whose image that Self is made—a faith that acts without egoism, and plods on merrily, knowing no trepidation or constraint. Exercise absolute fearless surrender to that Higher Power. Never mind that today you make the resolution that you are free and undaunted, and then tomorrow you catch the flu and become miserably sick. Don’t weaken! Command your consciousness to remain steadfast in its faith. The Self cannot be contaminated by sickness. Maladies of the body come to you through the law of self-created habits of ill health lodged in your subconscious mind. Such karmic manifestations do not disprove the efficacy, the dynamic power, of faith.

The Wisdom of Yogananda

The purpose of meditation is to calm the mind, that without distortion it may mirror Omnipresence. Calmness in meditation is the primary positive state of mental expansion; the bliss of divine union with God is the final state. The ultimate proof of God’s existence will come through your own experience in meditation. Once you have found Him in the cathedral of silent meditation in the depths of your soul, you will find Him everywhere.

No one could satisfy me with mere words. But when I see Saint Lynn completely in ecstasy with God, when I see Dr. Lewis diving in that realm and Dr. Kennell enjoying Spirit, when I see the sincerity of God in the face of each of the true ones He has sent to me, then I am overwhelmed.

The Wisdom of Yogananda

For the wave is the ocean and the ocean is the wave. We are all souls — waves of the ocean of Spirit, waves of the ocean of Christ Consciousness, and we must not forget it. And remember, just as important as Jesus Christ in the body is Jesus Christ without the body. Saint Teresa was persecuted when she said, “I have seen the formless Christ.” Then they found out that Thomas Aquinas had also spoken of the formless Christ. So as you worship Christ with form, you must not forget that the real Christ is the formless Christ, behind the form of Jesus which was on earth and which was resurrected again.

The Wisdom of Yogananda

Don’t be discouraged by anything. Problems come only to remind us that we need God in our hearts. Welcome each one. If life went smoothly for us we would feel no urge to seek God. We would forget Him. It is only when we are laid out flat by adversity that we yearn to be comforted. The ordinary man turns to his family and friends; but the devotee runs to the feet of the Divine Mother, and in Her finds his solace and freedom.

Whatever it is that you fear, take your mind away from it and leave it to God. Have faith in Him. Much suffering is due simply to worry. Why suffer now when the malady has not yet come? Since most of our ills come through fear, if you give up fear you will be free at once. The healing will be instant. Every night, before you sleep, affirm: “The Heavenly Father is with me; I am protected.” Mentally surround yourself with Spirit....You will feel His wonderful protection.

In India the teacher sits in his hermitage, and the students come to him. There is no talking. They meditate, and the teacher inwardly directs each soul. In the same way I direct those who are very devoted and earnest in seeking God and who are in tune with me. It does not matter where they are.

Isn’t it true, however, that when anyone criticizes us, if we take it with the right attitude, we benefit? It doesn’t really matter whether it is said in a mean or unkind way, or in an understanding way. It would be nicer and to the critic’s advantage to speak kindly; but in the ultimate sense, a person’s unkindness is his own problem. Your problem is how you react.
