Subject: [K-list] How joyous loving God is

Dear fellow members,
I would like to humbly say a few things. First of all i would like to say
that the easiest, safest, most joyously filled path, does not necessarily
mean meditating a certain number of hours. There was a certain disciple of
Paramahansa Yogananda who meditated a long time. He did a million kriyas.
(Kriya yoga is a advanced form of meditating, which i cannot describe in
more detail.) And he heard the master say that if you do a million kriyas
you find God. (iam trying to recollect the story but as i remember it thats
how it goes.) And the master said later on that the reason he was not
progressing was because "He was trying to do it himself." Self Realization
for almost everyone MUST be done with the help of a realized Guru. They do
not necessarily need to be in the body. Christ, Paramahansa Yogananda,
Ramakrishna, and saints like them are still living. They are not dead! It is
we who are dead, so to speak, untill we are self realized. Do not think that
because you have awakened kundalinis that you are different from people of
the past. What we really are is far beyond the kundalini, we are immortal
souls, and it is impossible for the soul to realize itself in time, such is
its power. The easiest way to realize this is to have devotion, which was
Ramakrishnas way. it does not matter if you have a little love in your heart
or you don't have much love to give because of the kundalini. Yearning and
simplicity and sincerity really touch Gods heart. Whatever love you have
give to whatever form of the Divine one you worship. It can be God, your
Guru, or what not. Personally i worship the Divine Mother. Also my guru but
i love to pour out my life to her. And she will respond! As sure as the sun
will come tomorrow God will not forsake any one of us. God or the Guru can
give one self realization, because he loves his devotees. I know that a lot
of us are suffering with this kundalini problem. I sure as heck suffered
with it. And my soul got sick of it, and i wanted God almost more than life
itself. Thats when i made the best progress. So i feel for all of you who
perhaps may be going through tests and trials and suffering, and iam sorry
about it. Remember that life is a test, suffering is not forever, its
impossible to be. You, the infinite blissfull soul, WILL overcome, in time.
God bless you all.
with love,
ben f
