Yogananda Quote

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. Paramahansa Yogananda

Although masters think of this quote and rely on the proverb it is the novice learning about failures that is beginning to unconsciously form the groundwork to better him or herself for what lays ahead.

What Yogananda also said in paraphrased way is that one should not consciously speak about his or her mistakes.

Contradiction? No, far from it. Think of the mistake, limitation or even sin. Converse with Source (God) about the mistake, limitation, sin and turn the page on it. Make it a thing of the past and move on.

It is not that one should continue to make mistakes, or perform sin and then ask Source for guidance or forgivenace it is that understanding a mistake (committing sin) one should when asking forgivenace from Source ask Source to help alter your consciousness so that one will not commit it again.

Drinking excessively, doing drugs or even abusing sex (prostitution for example) just some examples; once it happens. If you truly want to better yourself and make changes, consciously speak to Source. Ask Source to clean you out. Repeat this over and over again with emotion. Pray to Source asking Source to change you so you will never commit it again. If you are serious about not wanting to commit is and pour the emotion into that prayer without a doubt it will be the last time you commit that error or sin. No questions asked Source will alter your situation, senarious, life and conditions so you’ll never have to be faced with it again.

The key with this is until you are serious do not pray to Source to be changed. Until you are ready, commited to change and really want life altering changes made to you do NOT speak to Source about changing you. When you have accepted that you need to change that behaviour, idea, thought, characteristic then it is time to POUR your heart out to GOD asking GOD to change your ways.

This is the way of the master this is the way of the Yogi this is the way that the master teaches those who need to know.

Yogananda and Religion

Friday, October 21st, 2011

A great quote from Paramahansa Yogananda taken from The Essence of Self-Realization: The Wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda (Complied by Swami Kriyananda).

“A donkey may carry a burden of Bibles and other holy writings on its back. Does it thereby become spiritual? More likely, the very weight of all those books will merely deprieve it of any peace it may have when it was carrying nothing!”

What did Yogananda mean by this? Many things may come to mind. Quite likely the great of the ideas he was trying to convey is the nature of self realization (what Jesus and the Holy Bible referes to as the Kingdom of Heaven). The unenlightened non realized teaching bombards many.

-Jesus is the only way to heaven
-Jesus is the only Son of God
-Krishna had affaris with the goppies
-Islam teaches war

In the way that scripture is often read, taught and explained dogma is paramount. Once educated and realized in self realization understanding that “I am the way the truth and the light, nobody passes to the Father but through me”, indicated Jesus as heir to sixth chakra (this his dominion or siddhis and spiritual power), speaking of his oneness with Source and indicating everyone has to open the sixth chakra to witness the Father.

Jesus as Son of God. True meaning, Jesus and others that have realized consciousness and become enlightened becomes self realized and are spoken about as Son or Daughter of God. This in contray to Son of Man speaking about the body of Jesus (or anyother person; detailiing body rather than consciounsess).

Krishna must have had affairs with the goppies (young girls) because HIndus speak of Tantra. Krishna did not have affairs with young women, he was educating and they were devoted followers. In addition Tantra is truly sexual sublimation rather than sexual use.

Islam teaches Jihad (war). Although speaking about Jihad Islam like all other Religions (Battle of Krushketera in Hindus Bhagavad Gita) and (Book of Revelation in Christians New Testament) the Battle is a Battle Man plays with his mind, materialism and habbits (among others) in the path to become enlightened, realized and divine, as religion and Kriya Yoga is a scientific path to describe enlightenement and self realization.

For more information read The Book of Revelation Code (Dr. Greszczyszyn), or God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita (Yogananda).

Omniscience

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Omniscience or the wisdom of knowing, is a facet of the making of omnipresence (everpresent or oneness with everything).

Although not something that is developed early (waiting untill chakra 39 and 40 to develop), it is the essence of Omniscience one of the four characteristics of Godliness that demonstrates how man progresses towards greater divinity.

One great account of a mahayogis use of omniscience is the famed story from Autobiography of a Yogi (P. Yogananda) were he tell the story of Lahiri Mahasaya the great Kriya yogi who said the following:

“I am drowning in the bodies of many souls off the coast of Japan!”

This as he was discussing or performing a sermon on Christ consciousness, the state of vibratory guru or Christ that helps remove karma from disciples. It was not untill the next day that the disciples of Lahiri who were at the discourse read that a boat sank the day before off the coast of Japan.

It is this bifactorial nature of both Christ consciousness (removing pain and suffering from the men and women who died off the coast of Japan) plus Omniscience (ever or all knowing) that depends the providence that Kriya, Yoga, and Divinity from God are examples that man can strive for and achieve.

For more surprising details on spiritual progression, explanation of development and how one moves to greater divinity and godliness look for the soon to be released book by Dr. Greszczyszyn called The Complete Chakra System.

Paramahansa Yogananda Quote

Monday, August 9th, 2010

When you find God, you will see all forces united in him.
“Then life is sweet and death a dream; health is sweet and sickness a dream; praise is sweet and blame a dream-When Thy song flows through me.”

Taken from Cosmic Chants this quote forshadows the essence of self and God realization. Life is given purpose when one becomes self and God realized; death never occuring as one become immortalized in spirit. Vitality and constituition no impressive; ideas of becoming and feeling sick left behind. Praise for divinity, God and guru is expressions and blame of others (as one knows he or she is the manifestor of his and her life) does not occur….This when thy Song (the cosmic AUM) reverberates through the self and the seventh or crown chakra opens in its Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

While this is more than an interpretation Yogananda and those who have witnessed self and God realization not only overcome these things but in essence also each time one passes into Samadhi overcome every duality. Male/Female, hunger/saiety, ups/downs, cold/hots, etc. all become secondary to Bliss, existance and consciousness.
