I Meet My Master, Sri Yukteswar
"O my own, you have come to me!" My guru uttered the words again and again in Bengali, his voice tremulous with joy. 'How many years I have waited for you!'
"We entered a oneness of silence; words seemed the rankest superfluities. Eloquence flowed in soundless chant from the heart of master to disciple. With an antenna of irrefragable insight I sensed that my guru knew God and would lead me to Him. The obscuration of this life disappeared in a fragile dawn of prenatal memories. Dramatic time! Past, present, and future are its cycling scenes. This was not the first sun to find me at these holy feet!" --Paramahansa Yogananda Chapter 10 Autobiography of a Yogi |

Spiritual Growth Comes by Daily Effort to Change Ourselves
"Wherever God has placed you, do the best you can to manifest a positive spirit, an inner strength of mind, a sense of faith and trust and surrender at His feet. It is so simple to know God; just let go and let Him enter your life. This is the whole purpose of the spiritual path.
Accept each experience that comes to you as coming from Him, and try to learn from it....Do not remain the same old "psychological antique"; use God's power within you to change your life. Therein lies complete freedom from all limitations of body, mind, and this world of delusion. Therein lies the supreme victory for all of us."

Group
meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as
well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree
of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible
vibratory exchange of group magnetism. - Paramahansa Yogananda |
