Yogananda, Paramahansa, 1893-1952

"Autobiography of a Yogi"

The lost paradise
is quickly regained through divine meditation. As God is unanticipatory
Ever-Newness, we never tire of Him. Can we be surfeited with bliss,
delightfully varied throughout eternity?"
"I understand now, sir, why saints call the Lord unfathomable. Even
everlasting life could not suffice to appraise Him."
"That is true; but He is also near and dear. After the mind has been
cleared by KRIYA YOGA of sensory obstacles, meditation furnishes
a twofold proof of God. Ever-new joy is evidence of His existence,
convincing to our very atoms. Also, in meditation one finds His
instant guidance, His adequate response to every difficulty."
"I see, Guruji; you have solved my problem." I smiled gratefully.
"I do realize now that I have found God, for whenever the joy of
meditation has returned subconsciously during my active hours, I
have been subtly directed to adopt the right course in everything,
even details."
"Human life is beset with sorrow until we know how to tune in with
the Divine Will, whose 'right course' is often baffling to the
egoistic intelligence. God bears the burden of the cosmos; He alone
can give unerring counsel."
{FN14-1} "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God."-JOHN 1:1.
{FN14-2} "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all
judgment unto the Son."-JOHN 5:22. "No man hath seen God at any
time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father,
he hath declared him.
