Spiritual Resurrection

Life is glorious; life is beautiful, if you will only find God beneath the debris of matter. You must not be hypnotized by this changing picture of life and death, but behold immortality. It is the most joyous thing that you can experience. God is hidden behind the moon

and the sun and the stars. Your very conscience is the voice of God. And there is no other way to uncover God except by real devotion and meditation.Every day, resurrect yourself in meditation. Compare your state before and after meditation. Meditate deeply if you would know God. Let your evil habits, indifference, and restlessness die daily.Resurrection means relaxation, to relax awareness from your body and mind in meditation. Then you become free: your soul knows that you can live without the body though still living in the body; it is separate.Human life may be beautiful, but it is like a bird's

life in a cage. You open the cage door, but the bird does not way to fly away. It is afraid - and we, also, in meditation, say, " Will I slip into the Infinite and never come back? " We are afraid of the vast sky. We have lived identified too long with the body, and are afraid of our own infinite omnipresence, afraid to resurrect our omnipotence, our omniscience.You do not know what joy lies beyond the screen of the subsconscious mind. If you do away with the restlessness and sensations of the body, sit quietly, and say: " In the Heaven of Silence,

O God, be born within me, " then on the alter of silence He will come. The joy of God is indescribable - joy that no changing dream of life and

death can ever take away from you.- Karma and Reincarnation: The Wisdom of Yogananda, Volume 2 (v. 2) by Paramhansa Yogananda
