Oh, great Babaji.
Take possession of my Body,
Take possession of my Heart,
Take possession of my Mind,
Take possession of my Soul.
Make my body Omnipresent,
Fill my heart with divine love,
Let my thoughts reflect Thy wisdom,
Let my soul shine with Thy Light.

Affirmation: “‎0 Father, I pray that my storm-tossed soul may find the silver lining of Thy presence behind the clouds of my indifference, and the moon of Thy hope may gleam in my heart. Thou art slowly rising on the horizon of my mind; mists of ignorance are clearing with the coming of the moonbeams of Thy love.

 The wave is the same as the ocean,  though it is not the whole ocean.  So each wave of creation is a part  of the eternal Ocean of Spirit.  The Ocean can exist without the waves,  but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean. The true basis of religion  is not belief,  but intuitive experience.  Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God.  To know what religion is really all about,  one must know God. 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. To work with God’s happiness  bubbling in the soul  is to carry a portable paradise  within you wherever you go. Making others happy,  through kindness of speech  and sincerity of right advice,  is a sign of true greatness.  To hurt another soul  by sarcastic words, looks, or suggestions,  is despicable. Persistence guarantees  that results are inevitable. So long as we believe in our heart of hearts  that our capacity is limited  and we grow anxious and unhappy,  we are lacking in faith.  One who truly trusts in God  has no right to be anxious about anything. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda ~


The wave is the same as the ocean,
though it is not the whole ocean.
So each wave of creation is a part
of the eternal Ocean of Spirit.

The Ocean can exist without the waves,
but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean.

The true basis of religion
is not belief,
but intuitive experience.

Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God.
To know what religion is really all about,
one must know God.

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.

To work with God’s happiness
bubbling in the soul
is to carry a portable paradise
within you wherever you go.

Making others happy,
through kindness of speech
and sincerity of right advice,
is a sign of true greatness.

To hurt another soul
by sarcastic words, looks, or suggestions,
is despicable.

Persistence guarantees
that results are inevitable.

So long as we believe in our heart of hearts
that our capacity is limited
and we grow anxious and unhappy,
we are lacking in faith.
One who truly trusts in God
has no right to be anxious about anything.

With the love of all human loves, I have come to love Thee, Thou God of all loves. Thou art the protecting father. Thou art the little child, lisping love to his parents. Thou art the mother, showering infinite kindnesses. Thou dost flow in the all-surrendering love of the lover to the beloved. Thou art the love of friends. Purify me with the reverence of a servant to his master. Teach me to love Thee with all pure loves, for Thou art the fountain of love, heavenly and earthly. Bathe me in the spray of all loves.
Paramhansa Yogananda

Bearing the bliss of Brahma, happiness supreme; wearing the image of wisdom; beyond the dispute of quality; free as the soaring sky; Knower of all there is to be known; Thou perennial, taintless one; Witness of all happenings; beyond all conceptions’ boundaries; uncolored by good, bad and active qualities: my ever-awake Preceptor- I bow to Thee!
