My Easter Wish for You by Paramahansa Yogananda
While life is templed in the body, it constantly resurrects old tissues by filling them with the buoyancy of new cells. Similarly, Christ Consciousness keeps on remodeling and revivifying the deathly-change-infected cosmos, it's universes and all the bejewelled stellar and solar systems, the earth----every created thing. It resurrected the body of Jesus, the Son of man, after he was crucified. As the Son of God, Jesus knew that his life was one with the all-reviving Cosmic Life; thus he proclaimed: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
This is my Easter prayer: May all true devotees of God, uplifted by the transparent purity of their lives, begin to radiate the Infinite Light, equally present in all, even as Jesus did, and remember the long-forgotten truth that they are all potential Sons of God.
May each one of you be so inspired and sustained by the results of Kriya Yoga that you will follow the path of Self-Realization all the way, and learn to resurrect the delusion-entombed soul and commingle it in the ever-new vitality of Spirit. May you thus be able to lift the soul beyond the conscious and sleep states and expand it into God in the superconscious sphere.
Behold thine immortal Self resurrected with Christ in the illuminating Light of Christ Consciousness, present in every soul, every flower, every atom. |
