MY TOTAL INTENTION TO FIND THE LIGHT WITHIN That Illuminates The Universe From The Inside Out While there is life In this body And love flowing through My heart and soul And hands to do things with And a mind That can experience Vast ranges of conceptual delight— I will use these gifts To find that Light Within myself That is the source Of higher consciousness And greater love— That illuminates The entire universe From the inside out— And then share it Freely with the world And all the ones who, Like myself, are Lost and hurting and Ever seeking to Find our way through Life’s pain and beauty To the freedom of open Hearted loving and The peace, power and Purpose of being our True and radiant Selves again. 1993 From: “A Man’s Way”

FOUR POINTS OF PROFOUND ADVICE
THAT WILL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
From Lahiri Mahasaya*
Solve All Your problems through meditation.
Exchange unprofitable religious speculations for actual God contact.
Clear your mind of dogmatic theological debris—let in the fresh healing waters of direct perception.
Attune yourself to the active inner guidance—the divine voice has the answer to every dilemna of life!
*Read all about this highly realized spiritual master in Paramahansa Yogananda’s “The Autobiography of A Yogi”, which I highly recommend as one of the best and most life changing books ever written about the spiritual path.
