In that Light everything is understood and mastered.

― Paramahansa Yogananda, To be Victorious in Life

“My Feather Weight Heart!

It wasn’t this way clean and lightweight before,
It all started when I met the spiritual surgeon after,
It was filled with jealousy, greed, lust, stinginess and envy before,
It got cleaned when I started to meditate on the name of beloved after,
It was all dark filled with all black spots before,
It got lighter when the name of God entered after,
It was filled with hate towards oneself and others before,
It’s now filled with love towards oneself and others after,
It was disconnected from the truth of reality,
It’s now connected with reality of truth after,
It was once ignorant and arrogant before,
It is now awakened and mindful after,
It was out of the side of the truth of oneself before,
It is now in truth with insights of oneself after,
It was oppressive, aggressive, and transgressive before,
It is now submissive, merciful and compassionate after,
It was racist, filled with malice and hateful before,
It is now united, filled with love and acceptance after,
It was searching for the truth outside in the mosque, church, synagogues and temples before,
It is now in awareness of the temple inside me after,
It was not aware of God, temple of God (heart) and the soul before,
It is now when I met beloved reviving my dead heart after!”
― Aiyaz Uddin, The Inward Journey

“Let this veil be,
Let this secret be,
Let this affair be,
Let this truth be,

Let this love be,
Let this time be,
Let this thought be,
Let this life be,
Let this lover be,
Let beloved be!”
― Aiyaz Uddin, The Inward Journey

“There is no greater success than the attainment of self-knowledge as the Supreme Consciousness (God).”
― Shiva Negi

― Shiva Negi

“If only people knew wherein lies their own good! To those who act wrongly the Self is an enemy. Befriend the Self and the Self will save you. There is no other savior than your Self. The fetters of ignorance and bad habits keep you bound. It is because you are determined to follow your wrong habits that you suffer. If only you would picture life a little ahead; lest the time, the precious time that is given you, slip away fruitlessly. The Hindus have a saying: “The child is busy with play, the youth is busy with sex, and the adult is busy with worries. How few are busy with God!”
Banish the imaginary hope that happiness will come from worldly fulfillment. Prosperity isn’t enough, “gracious living” isn’t enough. You want to be eternally happy. Seize the God within you and realize that the Self is Divinity.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda, Man's Eternal Quest

“As Sai Baba says, you will not achieve God-realization unless you die to the negative ego, which is fearful, separative, and selfish. When you die to the lower self’s way of thinking and are reborn to your higher self’s way of thinking, then you will realize God.
This is the main curriculum of the spiritual path, regardless of which particular route or teacher you choose to follow. Contrary to what other people might say, you do not need negative emotions. They are created by the mind. They do not come from outside of yourself or from your instincts. They come from your interpretations, perceptions, and beliefs about reality. Did not Buddha say, in the four noble truths, that all suffering comes from “wrong points of view.”
― Joshua David Stone, Soul Psychology By Stone Joshua David

“The Christ has no form, for it is omnipresent. As the ocean is present in each of its drops, but no drop can be identified with the whole ocean, so the universal Spirit of Christ was manifested in Jesus, but could not be even remotely defined in terms of his human form. All souls who attain the state of oneness with the Christ consciousness lose, inwardly, their sense of fundamental individuality and become what are called masters. All of them are equals of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not born on earth to show people how great he was. He came to show us the greatness of our own divine potential.”
― Kriyananda, Revelations of Christ: Proclaimed by Paramhansa Yogananda, Presented by his disciple, Swami

“The Way of man's approach or return to God is in essence the same, [...] non-Christian teaching. It has three stages: an ethical stage, then one of knowledge and love, leading to the mystical Union of the soul with God.”

“The only God that may be said to exist is the Godliness of Oneness of the Whole; in totality and in actuality. The rest is but isms; a nullity in the Absolute Reality.”
― Fakeer Ishavardas
