The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.

All you need is to stop searching outside for what can be found only within. Set your vision right before you operate. You are suffering from acute misapprehension. Clarify your mind, purify your heart, sanctity your life - this is the quickest way to a change in your world.

You are not even a human being. You just

'are' - a point of awareness, co-extensive with time and space and beyond both, the ultimate cause, itself uncaused. If you ask me: 'Who are you?", my answer would be:

'Nothing in particular. Yet, I am.'

All is Brahman; all is blissful and peaceful.

The sense of individuality, however, is a misery.

Remember that.

Examine yourself thoroughly:

Are you a Body-Mind?

Were you born?

Who are You?

What are You?

Find out for Yourself.!

#SriNisargadattaMaharaj

To hold on the word of the Guru is the Greatest Service.

For this purpose, You have to give full attention to your True Nature all the Time.!

The Invisible Church: "In the trajectory of eternity, I built an invisible church where everyone could worship. Here, under the blue dome, illuminated by the sun, the moon, the aurora, the milky way and the lights of wisdom, gather the families of gathered stars, island universes, solar systems and the tiny earth with their millions of voters from many religions.

Each day, during the Evening Hour, the flying angels of thought soar above infinity, calling upon dumb and noisy beings to abandon their age-old sleep and join the cosmic service of awakening.

The altars of a united rhythm, hearts of blended lives, molten gold of cosmic union and electrified matter--were tenderly burning with their gentle and enchanting Presence.

The kites arrived and shed their joyful tears of light; the stars shed their sparkles at their feet of eternity, and the prodigal souls wept loving tears of remorse for the forgetful wanderers. All the flowers of the earth opened the cork of petals and loosened their liquid fragrance on their omnipresent altar.

The dew of devotion from the heart of all true tears, but constantly, forgiveness flowed upon His feet. Love, hate, light and penumbra, wisdom and ignorance, good and bad, are all gathered in the Church of all Creation.

Then a voiceless sermon of Infinite was heard in silence: a soundless song of joy filled the chalice of all lives; a silent smile of light drove away the hidden sorrow of all.

Under the spell of his sermon, love embraced hate, light embraced sadness, wisdom transmuted ignorance, good enchanted evil, many religions embraced their only faith of truth, many hearts dissolve on an altar of heart, many loves became His One pure, many souls became one Spirit of Love, and all of them - sang with one voice the choir of one religion, one life, one truth, one goal, one devotion, one love and one Spirit."

It takes very, very, VERY good karma for a person even to want to know God.

#ParamhansaYogananda

He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God.

#ParamahansaYogananda

There is no form of service greater than to speak to God.

Meditation is the highest form of activity.

TECHNIQUE TO CREATE AND DESTROY HABIT:

When you want to create a habit or destroy a harmful one, focus on the cells of the

brain, which is the repository of mechanisms of habits.

*TO CREATE A GOOD HABIT, meditate; and, concentrate on the Christian center (intercejo) deeply affirms the good habit you want to establish.

*And when you wish to ELIMINATE ONE BAD HABIT concentrate and affirm that all the vibrations of that habit are being deleted.

I'm going to tell you a story that refers to the effectiveness of this technique. In India, a man with a very bad temper came to see me. I had a habit of slapping asus bosses when I lost control so I lost one job after another. He asked me for help and I told him that every time I lost control I had to count to a hundred before acting. The

came back after a while and told me that it had only made matters worse. Su

case seemed to have no solution.

Then I told him to practice Kriya Yoga: ‘AFTER PRACTICING YOUR KRIYA, THINK OF THAT DIVINE LIGHT ENTERING YOUR BRAIN, TOUCHING IT, CALMING YOUR NERVES, ERASING ALL YOUR ANGER. Yun day your bad temper will be gone. ‘Not long after that, he came to warn me and said, ‘I am free from the habit of anger.’ I am very grateful to you. ’

I decided to give it a try. I told some guys to fight him. I hid in a park

the one I used to go through regularly to observe what was happening. The guys tried

make him mad, but he didn't reply. He kept quite.

Just one thought may redeem you. You don't realize how effectively your thoughts work in the ether.

#ParamahansaYogananda

Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it.

#ParamahansaYogananda

Modern life is becoming very unsatisfactory. It does not give you happiness. There are too many things, too many desires. More nice cars and dresses and entertainments - and more worries!

Free yourself from these so-called

"necessities" and spend more time with God. Make your life simple. Be happy in and by your Self.

#ParamahansaYogananda

Teach me, O Spirit, to cooperate with Your will, until all my thoughts align with Your harmonious plans.

#ParamahansaYogananda

You should make a greater effort.

Forget the past and trust more in God. Our fate is not predestined by Him; nor is karma the sole factor, though our lives are

influenced by our past thoughts and past activities. If you are not happy with the way life is turning out, change the pattern. I don't like to hear people sigh and ascribe present failure to past-life errors; to do so is spiritual laziness. Get busy and weed the garden of your life.

#ParamahansaYogananda

Courage

Look fear in the face and it will cease to trouble you.

#SwamiSriYukteswar

Be still.

When your mind is still, you have no name, no past, no relationships, no country, no spiritual attainment,

no lack of spiritual attainment.

There is just the presence of beingness with itself.

Why is it that we humans are so wiped out? It is the constant effort to gain a little advantage that wipes us out.

Illusion means being unstable. Illusion means being controlled by the situation.

A person with big desires is easily fooled. Even the greatest conman can't profit from a person with no desires.

Buddhism means no self, nothing to gain. You must be one with the universe and all living beings.
