The highest achievement means having wisdom and understanding, when you know everything that you want to know. I can truthfully say that everything that I have wanted to know, God has told me and shown me. After my earthly mother died, God answered my fervent prayers and showed me where she was. Truth is illuminating. You must be able to know that God is with you. Did Jesus have to consult anybody? He knew everything. So must you know. Anything I want to know is given to me. Why couldn't you live like that?

“The darkness of maya is silently approaching. Let us hie homeward within.” With these cautionary words Master constantly reminded his disciples of their need for Kriya Yoga. A new student occasionally expressed doubts regarding his own worthiness to engage in yoga practice.

“Forget the past,” Sri Yukteswar would console him. “The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.”

- Swami SriYukteswar Ji

“The Heavenly Father can be known as cosmic love, cosmic light, cosmic bliss. He is also infinite beauty. When we look at a rose, we shouldn't analyze too much, but rather concentrate on its beauty.”

All good comes from God alone, and all good returns to Him. So all the good and kind thoughts you have showered on me certainly came from the Father, and to the Father I return them. But we are blessed that His kindness comes back to you and to me. As my great Master said, "We are all His instruments. But there are willing instruments and there are unwilling instruments. God works only through willing instruments; and when He does, those willing instruments become Godlike."

To transmit God's consciousness you do not have to talk much; just feel it, and automatically those around you will be uplifted. Do not seek the acclaim and testimony of man, but the testimony of God. One moon gives more light than all the stars in the heavens. Similarly, one devotee of realization that this organization will produce is greater than thousands of persons who just read Scriptures and go to church once a week. So, be loyal in your activities and continuous in your habit of meditation.
