(God) won't measure how long you've worked for spiritual attainment; it
is your intensity that counts. No matter how many incarnations of bad
karma you might have, if your devotion and sincerity are deep enough to
bring into your consciousness the light of God, all darkness of the
evil of incarnations will be burned away. (Paramahansa Yogananda)
We divide ourselves into two to love God - myself loving my Self. God
has created me and I have created God. We create God in our image. It
is we who create Him to be our Master; it is not God who makes us His
servants. When we know that we are one with God, that we and He are
friends, then come equality and freedom. May the Lord, the Light of the
world, the Soul of the universe - ever protect you!(Swami Vivekananda)
When you remove the obstacles that you have been creating, then you are
enlightened. Enlightenment is not something that you gain;
enlightenment is a state of mind that is free from pain and misery.
Human beings can be analyzed by understanding all levels of life
systematically. A human life can be compared to a lamp that is covered
by progressively denser shades or sheaths. As you remove the dense
outer coverings, you find more and more light, and finally a place full
of light, with no darkness whatsoever. You are already enlightened, but
you do not realize it because you are constantly identifying yourself
with the outer sheaths and with the objects of the world. (Swami Rama)
All positive oriented Self & God Realization yoga paths welcome for
discussion. Advaita & Davaita Vedanta, Surat Shabda Yoga, Light & Sound
paths, etc. List favors the "guru within" themes over "needing a guru
without" themes, though latter is fine in positive format. Patanjali's
Yoga Sutras & WWW.SWAMIJ.COM
