Susheelanji and Lahiri Mahasaya

[Guest guest]

Dear Susheelan,

 

Are you aware that you are echoing the comments of

the great yogavatar Lahiri Mahasaya, the paramguru

of Paramahansa Yogananda? Here is the quote from

the Autobiography of a Yogi:

 

"The master encouraged his various disciples to

adhere to the traditional discipline of their

own faiths. Stressing the all-inclusive nature

of Kriya Yoga as a practical technique of liberation,

Lahiri Mahasaya then gave his chelas liberty to

express their lives in conformance with environment

and upbringing.

 

"A Moslem should perform his namaj worship five

times daily," the master pointed out. "Several

times daily, a Hindu should sit in meditation. A

Christian should go down on his knees several times

daily, praying to God and then reading the Bible."

 

and for further thought:

 

The great guru taught his disciples to avoid

theoretical discussion of the scriptures. He

only is wise who devotes himself to realizing,

not reading only, the ancient revelations," he

said. "Solve all your problems through meditation.

Exchange unprofitable speculations for actual

God-communion."

 

Jai Ma,

Jyotsna
