"If we are attuned to God, our perception is limitless,
pervading everywhere in the oceanic flow of the Divine Presence.
When the Spirit is known, and when we know ourselves as Spirit,
there is no land or sea, no earth or sky — all is He.
The melting of everything in Spirit is a state no one can describe....
A great bliss is felt — eternal fullness of joy and knowledge and love."
-- Paramahansa Yogananda
"In an instant you may be required to leave this world;
you will have to cancel all your engagements.
Why then give any other activity first importance,
with the result that you have no time for God?
That is not common sense.
It is because of maya, the net of cosmic delusion which is thrown over us, that we entangle ourselves in mundane interests and forget the Lord."
"If we are attuned to God, our perception is limitless,
pervading everywhere in the oceanic flow of the Divine Presence.
When the Spirit is known, and when we know ourselves as Spirit,
there is no land or sea, no earth or sky — all is He.
The melting of everything in Spirit is a state no one can describe.
A great bliss is felt — eternal fullness of joy and knowledge and love."
"Go on doing good no matter how much you get slapped by others.
There are thousands who will appreciate your efforts, and a few who won’t. When they crucify you with unkindness, that is the time to say,
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Continue to do good to please God, including efforts
at resolving the misunderstanding.
Don’t be a doormat or cooperate with evil, but in your heart
separate them—their souls—from their misguided actions,
and give them love sincerely. Thereby you will attain self-mastery—
a peace within yourself that cannot be destroyed by the actions of others."
