FINDING THE JOY WITHIN YOU, PARAMHANS YOGANANDAJI

Guruji used to say, “Each one of you, before you go to sleep tonight, sit in meditation and deeply call to God.” Like a child, talk to Him. If you do this every night, your life will become anchored in Him. You will become like a strong tree, which bends in the wind, but never breaks. A brittle tree cracks and falls in just a little gust of wind. The devotee of God learns to bend with life’s experiences, without breaking. His roots are anchored in the Divine.



—Sri Daya Mata, “The Hope for Peace in a Changing World” from Finding the Joy Within You.
