Yogananda Paramahamsa

[Guest guest]

I know I am but a figure in God's dream movie, as you are also. Some

day, when we cease to be actors on the screen of life, we shall

realize that our forms are but shadows interspersing the cosmic beam

of God's omnipresence, and that the only thing in the manifested

universe which is real is the light of the Infinite Christ. Let us

send this thought to all who are seeking happiness in any way, and who

know not that what they are really seeking is God.

Again and again, pray in your soul: " O Christ, O Lord, come, clear

away the dust of my indifference. Flood my consciousness, O Infinite

Christ, with Thy divine consciousness! "

 

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Excerpts from JOURNEY TO SELF-REALIZATION (351)

 

An Affirmation

 

By the magic touch of my silence,

And I saw myself reflected in everything.

And when in concentration I looked at myself,

I became transparent -- and in my transparency

I could not find me -- but only Thee, only Thee.

 

 

God is approachable. Talking of Him and listening to His words in the

scriptures, thinking of Him, feeling His presence in meditation, you will see

that gradually the Unreal becomes real, and this world which you think is real

will be seen as unreal. There is no joy like that realization.

 

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, " Man's Eternal Quest "
