You
Can Have The Divine Response
From Tonight If You Make Up Your Mind
Insight, Prayers, and Inspiration from the woks of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
One Summer I stopped at a monastery,
where I met one of the priests. He was a wonderful soul. I asked him how long
he had been on the spiritual path as a monk.
"About twenty-five years," he replied. Then I asked:
"Do you see Christ?"
I don't deserve it," he answered. "Maybe after death he will visit
me."
"No," I assured him, "you can see him from tonight if you make
up your mind." Tears were in his eyes, and he remained silent.
You must pray intensely. If you sit night after night practicing meditation
and crying to God, the darkness will be burned up, and you will see the Light
behind this physical light, the Life behind all life, the Father behind all
fathers, the Mother behind all mothers, the Friend behind all friends, the
Element behind all elements, the Power behind all powers. That is where I
live, and where I want you to come.
