How to Live a God-Oriented Life | How-to-Live Talk with Meditation

Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Sattvananda shares Paramahansa Yogananda’s wisdom on how we can move past a simple belief about God to establish a personal relationship with the Divine as the guiding force in our lives.

Brother Sattvananda informs us that we can connect our lives with God by following the moral and ethical codes found in all religions, coupled with daily meditation. In this way we can heal ourselves of the false notion that we are limited human beings and realize ourselves as beings of light, reflections of God.

This talk was recorded at the SRF Encinitas Temple in Encinitas, California.

Beautiful talk. Thank you Brother Sattvananda 🙏Jai Guru🙏

Brother Sattvananda, your explanation about the many facets of love and devotion is very useful to me. I noticed immediately the depth of devotion in your words and chanting, before you spoke about it. I now look forward to the external experience of love through flowers, uplifting music, the innocence of children and the internal experience of feeling that devotion. Thank you.

When you said, "It is God that takes the Guru's form to have a personal relationship with each disciple. Which is different. It's very personal. It's very individual. So, it's very, very beautiful." I broke down into joyous sobs. This touched my very depths. Thank you! Master loved me first. I told him when I first started on the spiritual path, "I don't know what love is. I don't know how to love God. How can I love God?" Then Guruji loved me first. From one of his photographs came the most exquisite joy and bliss. This I then knew was unconditional love.
