#02 Paramahansa Yogananda - Three Paths to Cosmic Consciousness

Samadhi is a joyous experience, a splendid light in which you behold the countless worlds floating in a vast bed of joy and bliss. Banish the spiritual ignorance that makes you think this mortal life is real. Have these beautiful experiences for yourself in eternal samadhi, in God. Auroras of light, skyfuls of eternal bliss will be opened to you. All great teachers declare that within this body is the immortal soul, a spark of That which sustains all. He who knows his soul knows this truth: “I am beyond everything finite; I now see that the Spirit, alone in space with Its ever new joy, has expressed Itself as the vast body of nature. I am the stars, I am the waves, I am the Life of all; I am the laughter within all hearts, I am the smile on the faces of flowers and in each soul. I am the Wisdom and Power that sustain all creation.” Paramahansa Yogananda, Man’s Eternal Quest
