NOWNESS IS MY PATH AND SWEET DESTINY This morning white frost Covers the fields and trees Around our little house With a frozen silence so complete And a stillness so profound That my soul starts singing and Calling me into the inner world Of love, presence and Light. Every one of these golden moments Brings a fresh opportunity To awaken from darkness, And rise up into the pure Consciousness of inner delight. I am given the choice On this mighty river of time of How to use each of these Precious minutes of they flow by— To open my heart and Rise and rise and keep on Climbing the mountain of all possibilities Or allow myself to fall Back into the surrounding darkness— Yet I know, I have already made The choice many lifetimes ago To keep on climbing Ever higher, Ever clearer, Ever more loving, Ever more aware And ever more caring In this glorious eternal nowness Which is both my Path and my sweet destiny.

A BEAUTIFUL SONG TO BLESS YOUR DAY
Written by Yogananda while in a long prayer session invoking the presence of the Divine.
This heart melting kirtan in English is one of my own favorites by Yogananda,
With its poetic lyrics addressed directly to God in the aspect of Divine Mother, this music video really captures the essence of our sincere calling upon God to bless us with direct communion in our own hearts.
“SOUL CALL”written by Yogananda…Sung by Shakti Deva in a wonderful music video from Maui
A PEACEFUL MIND LEADS TO A PEACEFUL LIFE If there is peace in your mind, You will find peace with everybody. If your mind is agitated, You will find agitation everywhere. So first find peace within And you will see this inner Peace reflected everywhere else. Where else will you find Peace if not within you? —Papaji
