Quote of the day

ANSWER THE CALL OF CHRIST

 

May you all be so filled with love of God that in your heart you know

nothing else, day or night, but His peace and joy. Again and again I

have talked to God, and again and again I have reproached Him with

what has happened to this creation, for here we are first tempted by

Satan. If only we had been first tempted by the Lord, we wouldn’t want

to follow satanic ways. Misery is the word for this creation with all

its delusion and suffering, and one we are taken away, we know not

whither. Is there any happiness in this? No, happiness comes only in

realizing that the nightmare of creation is not real, and that God is

real.

 

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

PRAYER

 

Heavenly Father, Mother, Friend, Beloved God. Bhagawan Krishna, Jesus

Christ, Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswarji,

Guru-Preceptor Paramahansa Yogonandaji, saints of all religions, I bow

to you all. May Thy love shine on the sanctuary of my devotion, and

may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.

 

-- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

An inspiration thought of the day August 5

Surrender to God

I am Thine, O Lord! I will make myself worthy of Thine acceptance.

I will not make a burnt offering unto the Lord my God of that which

doth cost me nothing. I will lay myself, with all my prejudices and

pettiness, with all the flesh holds dear, upon the burning pyre.

I will lift my heart daily to Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami

Sri Yukteswarji, and my Guru Paramahansa Yoganandaji, asking for their

many-jewelled gifts of Self-realization.

 

In the stillness of night, out of the depth of my heart I will cry:

" Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth. "

When the call to disagreeable duty is sounded, I will answer: " Here am

I, Lord; send me. "
