Paramahansa Yogananda: How God Is Pulling Us Back to Him

Do not rest until He answers. Ask with all your heart, again and again: “Reveal Thyself! Reveal Thyself! The stars may be shattered, the earth may be dissolved, yet my soul shall cry unto Thee, ‘Reveal Thyself!’” The inertia of His silence will be broken by the steady, persistent hammering of your prayers. At last, like the invisible earthquake, He will suddenly make Himself manifest. The walls of silence holding back the reservoir of your consciousness will tremble and crumble, and you will feel that you are flowing like a river into the Mighty Ocean, and you will say to Him: “I am now one with Thee; whatever Thou hast, the same have I.”

THE SRF LESSONS

The SRF Lessons teach you how to live a balanced and successful life by awakening your connection to the Divine. The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters — Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda — and available to you.

The Lessons were originated by Paramahansa Yogananda. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul—to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him—provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization.

From the very first Lesson, you receive definite methods by which you can experience the benefits of meditation immediately.

While building a solid foundation for deep meditation, you will learn three powerful techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as necessary first steps in the comprehensive spiritual science of Kriya Yoga: Energization Technique and Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration and Aum Technique of Meditation.

It isn’t only meditation that I emphasize. Meditation plus keeping your mind with God during activity is what is necessary. Half the battle will be won by meditation, for the soul power that you bring out by meditation will influence your thoughts and behavior during activity. When you meditate deeply, that gives substantiation to your spiritual thoughts. The longer and deeper you meditate on a regular basis, the more you will find there is no difference between work and meditation. That is to say, whether you are working or meditating, you remain immersed in the divine consciousness of the blissful Spirit. You no longer identify yourself with the activities and aches and pains of a mortal body; you realize you are pure Spirit.

I've suffered badly this past entire year with a tragic injury. Marriage has not been good for years. I'm getting better from the injury but still recovering. Things could always be worse. Thank you God for being so good to me. I still have many things to be grateful for!

What a beautiful video. PY’s words are always so inspiring to me. They bring me happiness, joy and make me realize what a privilege it is to have a human body and walk the path of returning back from where we came from. Thanks for all your efforts you put into making these beautiful videos 🤗🙏🏻❤️

The bliss resides and abides, always letting us back in. Seekful. We are drawn to it really.

A wonderful video that powerfully depicts pure Truth!! The video tells us, how we and the universe as a whole came from Brahman (Spirit) - and how we can merge back into Brahman. Brahman as such has no Duality in it and as such, has no inborn creation in it (creation can exist only when there is Duality). But it has the creative power. Brahman is Sat-Chit-Anand (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss). So, Brahman, invoked creation by using His Consciousness to "throw" Duality downwards. Consciousness is composed of thoughts - thoughtrons. So, Brahman, "threw" positive and negative thoughts downwards, to create Duality. These thoughtrons remain in the causal plane. Next, these thoughtrons were thrown further down to the astral plane - as lifetrons. Lifetrons (or Prana) are the building blocks of electrons and protons.
Next these lifetrons were thrown further down to the physical world, where they became condensed as electrons and protons. So, we see that electrons and protons are condensed lifetrons.
In essence, thoughtrons represent the divine thought or consciousness, and lifetrons are the tangible expression of this divine energy in the form of life-force particles. And electrons and protons are condensed lifetrons. So, we can say that in a sense, protons and electrons are a condensed thought of God.
From protons and electrons, different types of atoms got made (depending on the different number of protons and electrons in them). Atoms combined to form molecules. Molecules combined to make Minerals.
Molecules also combined to make cells. Cells ultimately combine to form entire organisms - like Man. Like the earth is kept in its orbit by the gravitational force of the Sun - and the centrifugal force of the revolving earth, Man is trapped in Maya and the pull of God. But the pull of Maya is too strong for him.
But a Yogi, withdraws all his senses within. And discovers his Atman (Atman=Brahman). He becomes Omniscient and Omnipresent - he becomes a superman and his consciousness merges back into Brahman, leaving the gross body behind: And this is the way back to God.
Ultimately the whole universe and everything will merge back into Brahman, but that will take eons and eons.
So be a Yogi and meditate - to keep the rational and emotional side of you in balance and only then you can merge into Brahman. And love God (Brahman). And think of God all the time.
And a yogi can hasten his involution by practicing Kriya Yog.

All the little pieces on our journey back to God

[justindavis]

To whom that read this: please pray that my desires for God be purified. I have been traveling away from home and work for a year now, at this moment the wall of the need to make money seems like a tsunami coming to overtake me. Intellectually I understand that “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you” but in practice when the path forward is dark and obscure, my heart cries out to God for direction. For his light to be a lamp unto my feet. God, all things external are a mirage of you. I want to have faith that he will appear to me and guide me but in this moment I feel alone in the busy streets of Paris. May I have the tranquility to cease my restlessness and abide in patient waiting of the kingdom of god in me to appear. That I can take the next steps in confidence, hope, and joy. Amen. Thank you for reading, may you be blessed. Thank you for these teaching shared freely.

I consider myself a modern day Sadhu, I live on very little money, I've gone church, to Mosque, to Temple, and then I found a little Yogananda ashram and fell in Love, But I am just now starting the classes, I hope to be able to move to the ashram, and be able to live, I dream of being able to tell my story and all I've learned to people and bring others into God's realm by God giving me the words, wisdom, from his knowledge, There are so many paths to God's grace

Wonderful words from Jesus to all nations:
And Jesus cried out and said,
“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day..."
