"A
Wonderful Book! To find a previously unknown message
from Yogananda now is an extraordinary spiritual gift."
-

Great
teachers work through their students. Yogananda was no exception.
Swami Kriyananda writes in his introduction, "After I'd
been with him a year and a half, he began urging me to write
down the things he was saying during informal conversations."
This volume of nearly 300 sayings rich with spiritual wisdom,
is the fruit of that labor of love.
Filled
with lessons and stories that Yogananda shared only with his
closest disciples, this volume offers one of the most insightful
and engaging glimpses into the life and lessons of a great
sage. Much of the material presented here is not available
anywhere else.
Chapters
include:
- The
True Purpose of Life
- How
to Pray Effectively
- The
Lesson of Reincarnation
- Ways
in Which God Can Be Worshiped
- On
Meditation
- The
Law of Karma
Some
Excerpts from the book:
"Wake
up! before your dream of life vanishes into the infinite.
When this body drops in death, where will your family be?
your home? your money? You are not this body. The body is
only a plate, given to you that you might eat from it the
feast of spirit. Why not learn this essential lesson before
death? Why wait? Don't tie yourself to the limitations of
human consciousness, but remember the vastness of the spirit
within."
"Self-realization
is the knowing in all parts of body, mind and soul that you
are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not
have to pray that it come to you; that God's omnipresence
is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is
improve your knowing." - from
