September 12 – Right Activity
If your mind is fully identified with your activities, you cannot be conscious of the Lord; but if you are calm and receptive to Him within while being active without, you are rightly active. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “Para - gram”

September 11 – Effort
All the experiences I have told you about are scientifically attainable. If you follow the spiritual laws, the result is certain. If the result doesn’t come, find fault with your effort. Intensity in all your religious practices is the only way. Those who don’t meditate regularly and deeply are restless whenever they do meditate, and give up after a short effort. But if you make a greater effort day by day, the ability to go deep will come. I don’t have to make any effort now; the whole world is gone instantly when I close my eyes and gaze into the Christ Center [the spiritual eye, in the forehead between the eyebrows]. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “Man’s Eternal Quest” Photo: The Bernadine Church of St. Andrew, built 1600-1630, Lviv, Ukraine

September 10 – Effort
You should make a greater effort. Forget the past and trust more in God. Our fate is not predestined by Him; nor is karma the sole factor, though our lives are influenced by our past thoughts and past activities. If you are not happy with the way life is turning out, change the pattern. I don’t like to hear people sigh and ascribe present failure to past-life errors; to do so is spiritual laziness. Get busy and w**d the garden of your life. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda”

September 9 – Effort
You should increase the strength of your body and then increase the strength of your mind. The best way to increase mental power is to try to accomplish something worthwhile every day. Choose some worthy task or project that you have been told you could not do, and try to do it. Each day strive to accomplish something that you have always thought you could not accomplish. - Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons

September 8 – Effort
Remember, if you don’t find God, you are not making enough effort in your meditation. Should you not find the pearl after one or two divings, don’t blame the ocean. Blame your diving; you are not going deep enough. If you dive really deep you will find the pearl of His presence. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “Man’s Eternal Quest”

September 7 – Effort
I always believe that if I will try just a little harder, I can bring about the conditions that seem just out of my reach. Remember that no one, not even a master, can do everything for you. You have to do much yourself. – Sri Gyamamata, “God Alone: The Life and Letters of a Saint.”

September 6 – Effort
All souls are equal. The only difference between you and me is that I made the effort. I showed God that I love Him, and He came to me. Love is the magnet from which God cannot escape. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda”

September 5 – Effort
Those who do not give time to their religion cannot expect to know all at once about God and the hereafter. Usually people don’t make the effort, or if they do, the effort is not deep and sincere enough. Nighttime should be spent with God. You sleep more than necessary, and thus waste many valuable hours. Night was meant to screen all the attractions of the world, that you might more intently explore the kingdom of God. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “Man’s Eternal Quest”

09/04/2026

September 4 – Effort
To coax God to give Himself takes steady, unceasing zeal. Nobody can teach you that zeal. You have to develop that yourself. “You can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.” Yet when the horse is thirsty it seeks out the water with zeal. So, when you have an immense thirst for the Divine, when you will not give undue importance to anything else — the tests of the world or the tests of the body — then He will come. – Paramahansa Yogananda, “How You Can Talk With God”

Special Thought for Janmashtami— Birthday of Bhagavan Krishna
The birthday of Krishna is celebrated according to the Indian lunar calendar. It falls on the eighth day of the waning moon between mid-August and mid-September.
“He who perceives Me everywhere and beholds everything in Me never loses sight of Me, nor do I ever lose sight of him.
That Yogi stays forever in Me, who, anchored in divine unity whatever his mode of existence, realizes Me as pervading all beings.
O Arjuna, the best type of Yogi is he who feels for others, whether in grief or pleasure, even as he feels for himself.” — Bhagavan Krishna, in the Bhagavad Gita
