Yogananda Paramahamsa

[Guest guest]

Forget everything else! Just lay your self at God's feet. There is no

time like the present to surrender yourself unto Him. At first He

bestows a glimpse of joy that comes after a little meditation, and

stays but a little while. That is when most people misunderstand, give

up, and are lost again in worldly snares. But great joy and happiness

are to be had if you go on until you realize the spirit of Christ and

experience the bliss of contact with the Great Ones. No pleasure of

the senses can ever give that comfort and happiness. Even the movies

with their entertaining variety may become tiresome, but God never is.

Once you get to God and experience His bliss, He becomes more real to

you than all else, His contact more joyous than any pleasure of the

senses more tempting than any other temptation. Until you feel His joy

you can never attain His glory; you cannot know what happiness lies in

becoming a king of kings, a prince of light.

Excerpts from THE DIVINE ROMANCE (424)

 

 

An Affirmation

“Today, I forgive all those who have ever offended me. I give my love

to all thirsty hearts, both to those who love me and those who do not

love me.â€

 

Aaj main un sab ko kshama karta hoon jinho ne mujhe kabhi bhie kasht

diya hai. Main apana prem sabhi pyase hridayon ko deta hoon, chahe ve

mujhe prem karate hon ya na karate hon.

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

 

 

An inspiration thought of the day August 1

Surrender to God

The greatest of all duties is to remember God. The first thing to do

in the morning is to meditate on Him and think how you can give your

life to His service, so that all day long will be filled with His joy.
