Seventy-One; Discovering The Art Of Devotion, In the Time of the Coronavirus

 Love him, talk to him every second of your life, in activity and in silence, with deep prayer, with the unceasing desire of your heart; and you shall see the screen of delusion melt away. He who is playing hide-and-seek in the beauty of the flowers, in souls, in noble passions, in dreams, shall come forth and say: "You and I have been apart for along time; because I desired that you give Me your love willingly. You are made in My image, and I wanted to see if you would use your freedom to give Me your love." - Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"

It seems so simple in the silence of the evening to give your love without reservation. You have love for your family, you have love for your country, you have love for your home and your possessions. Do you have love for Him who has granted all these fine things to you? A question only you, yourself, in the silence of prayer can answer. Do not hesitate any longer! What more could you possibly be waiting for? What material possession could possible offer you more? What greater love could you ever imagine is out there waiting on you! The answer is one that you already know. It has come to us in this great time of desire and need. Look around! Open your heart and open your mind to the infinite possibilities of the universe and your dreams and aspirations will be yours if you go forward with the Love of your Lord in your heart and soul! Why not surrender your resistance and lift up the Light of the World for all to see. Do not let delusion and dissatisfaction stand in the way of your Liberation. It is ours for the asking Today!

Sixty-Eight; Exploring The Art Of Yoga, In The Time Of The Corona Virus Variant

 Yoga is definite and scientific. Yoga means union of soul and God, through step-by- step methods with specific and known results. It raises the practice of religion above the differences of dogma. My Guru, Sri Yukteswar, extolled Yoga; he did not, however, indicate the realization of God thereby would be immediate. "You have to work hard for it," he told me. I did, and when the promised results came, I saw that Yoga was marvelous.-Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"

Nothing worthwhile in life is truly easy and will come to you without hard work. To gain spiritual advances in any religion or spiritual practice you must put in the time and effort and you will reap the benefits. Why not now! Don't put your journey off any longer. Move forward today. In this time of crisis and confusion in the world and among our leaders and citizens, why not align your will with God's Will. What has the pursuit of your will or man's will gotten you lately? Have you received some incredible benefit that we all aren't aware of? I think not! The rewards that are yours for the asking and taking are far greater than you can ever imagine. Don't be fooled by the promises of Today's Politician's and Leaders in their own quest to further their ambitions and career's they are allowing hundreds of thousands of your fellow American's and your Children to die needlessly of the Coronavirus and Variant! While we generally try to be non political in our writing for the sake of not polarizing or politicizing topics, there is a time in life that you must stand up an be accountable. Silence is no longer a virtue to be extolled. Use your Divine Will to help understand how you can move forward in your life and quest for spirituality and self-realization.

Sixty-Two; The Art Of Faith And Action, In The Time Of The Coronavirus.

     You can't just sit there and wait for success to fall into your lap; once your course is set and your will is firm, you have to make a practical effort. Then you will see that whatever you require for success starts coming to you. Everything will push you in the right direction. In your divinely surcharged will power is the answer to your prayer. When you use that will, you open the way through which your prayers can be answered. Paramahansa Yogananda, Man's Eternal Quest

     Success has often been described when opportunity meets preparation. You may prepare all you like but if you do not act when the timing is right then it can also be described as failure. Failure is no longer an option in the time of the coronavirus. We must strive for success with all our energy and willpower to do whatever it takes to know success. One true and good act will lead to a new and greater act. Do not be discouraged by setbacks or failures. Many stories of great success have tales of sorrow and misfortune woven deeply into the back story. We together can overcome any trial that we face. Do not despair! Find joy and divine inspiration in the challenge! I and my Father are one, all that my father hath is mine!

Thirty: Exercising Positive Mindfulness In The Time Of Coronavirus

     

     "It is pride that makes self-righteous persons so ready to judge those about them who are weak. True morality includes compassion for others in their ignorant wrongdoings.

Those who like to dwell on the faults of others are human vultures. There is already too much evil in the world. Don't talk of evil, don't think of evil, and don't do evil. Be like a rose, wafting to all the sweet fragrance of soul goodness. Make everyone feel that you are a friend; that you are a helper, not a destroyer. If you want to be good, analyze yourself and develop the virtues in you. Banish the thought that evil has any part in your nature, and it will drop off. Make everyone else feel that you are an image of God, not by your words but by your behavior. Emphasize the light, and darkness will be no more."
