The Seven Stages of Self-Realization Volume I Stage Three. Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda

Satan invented deceptive knowledge; instead of beautiful nature, Satan introduced ugly wars, germs of disease, earthquakes, sinful vices and other misfortunes.
happy and a restless person who works and studies day and night is not familiar with the higher joys of meditation, and therefore he does not like to meditate. Instead, he would rather play chess, engage in chatter or idle pastimes, and seek no joy in meditation.
Most pious people, unfamiliar with the positive side of giving up bad habits of worry in order to achieve happiness, give up meditation after a few experiences and failed attempts - they throw themselves into a whirlwind of ordinary habits and drown in ignorance. However, a truly pious person should use the powers of spiritual fantasy, and should not give in to the memories of restless habits that tell him: “Mr. Mind, there is nothing good in the darkness of meditation. Drop this and spend your time more cheerfully, going to the cinema every day, etc.while the mind inside says, "Don't give up the joys that most people indulge in instead of sitting in fruitless meditation."
No matter how much a person suffers from the attacks of very strong sensual habits and material desires that produce anxiety, however, he finds that the occult warriors of this and past lives created by meditation always come to his aid. A person who is always restless and never meditates thinks that everything is all right because he is already used to being a slave to worry. However, as soon as he tries to meditate and be calm, he finds resistance from evil erratic habits. Again, when the restless habits try to seize the throne of pious expectation, they find themselves resisted by the occult warriors of past lives.

Pray to God unceasingly until God answers you

Throw away mental deception through loud prayer. Shake yourself off seeming contentment, believe only "something" about God. You need to definitely know God. You need to know how to consciously awaken Him and tangibly make Him answer your prayers. Don't be satisfied until you have heard His voice consciously. You can alleviate your conscience with excuses that necessary work is keeping you from prayer and meditation, but you cannot have excuses for not sacrificing deep to Him. mental prayers and impulses at all times in the temple of activity or at the altar of silence and silence. No matter what you do, you can always whisper your love to God until you consciously receive His answer. This is the surest way to get in touch with Him in this frantic pace of modern life.
You know that every time you desire something very strongly, no matter what you do, no matter where you are, the constant mental whispering of the desire to possess a certain object rotates with force in the depths. your mind. This repeated, real desire directed towards something is called a mental whisper. The mind is constantly whispering what it wants. Such mental whispering is not like mechanical prayers. It is voluntary and secret and is processed into a dynamic force.
Never be satisfied before you have found the unmistakable signs of divine answers. Never lose heart and continue to meditate and pray harder and harder. God will appear to you as the Christ, or as Lahiri Mahasaya, or as any other of the great Masters, as they really were when they lived on earth. When you pray to God, then know that despite the fact that He does not answer you, He hears you, and if you can convince Him that you want Him more than anything else - just as much as you want money, love and strength, then He will speak to you.
Remember that the mother does not come to the cry of a child who can be calmed by toys, but she comes to a continuously screaming naughty child. Become a divine naughty child. Do not be content with displaying worldly toys as an answer to your prayer calls. Pray quietly, cry quietly, inaudibly to others, in the language of your own heart, unceasingly to God until He answers. It is best to meditate, pray and cry before the picture of the Christ, or Lahiri Mahasaya, or before the picture of any Master, until you see and hear one of them answer you.
You must consciously connect with God, and when you reach Him, you will gain power over yourself and over all the circumstances that limit you.
Start Your Meditation Today
Oh sleeping likeness of God, wake up!
Don't say, "I will meditate on Cosmic Being tomorrow." This "tomorrow" may never come. Begin your meditation today. The practice of these days will awaken the desire to meditate more deeply tomorrow, and vice versa, the negligence of these days will dampen your thirst for meditation. Do not let bad habits carry you awayin order to end contact with God.
The world creates bad habits in you, but the world does not want to take responsibility for your actions, which come from the manifestation of these habits by you. Why would you sacrifice all your time to the world. Sacrifice at least an hour a day for the true realization of the soul. Can't you devote 1/24 of your day to the Creator of the world, who gave you a family, money and everything you earned?
Some people do everything imperfectly because of negligence, laziness and the lack of a specific goal. Find yourself a good teacher (Guru), choose the best and fastest method of meditation, as taught by the great Indian Saints and Teachers, and then meditate deeper and deeper every day, pray to God with a fiery heart:
Open Yourself!
Continue like this day after day, month after month, year after year in good faith and eventually you will find that you have realized the divine consciousness.
Part III
The correct method of meditation
You can never have a truly happy inner and outer life until you use the God-given power of meditation to claim back the image of God, dominate destiny, and conquer the mysteries of life. Through meditation one can truly learn to achieve contact with divine bliss (in which God dwells), by the correct application of spiritual laws.
The correct method of meditation является единственным путем к всеобщей свободе и успехам. It is a long and tiring walk from New York to Los Angeles and would take months to complete, but with a fast plane it would only take a few hours. Aren't you tired of walking the long prayer path to God through unfounded theological tricks through the torturous jungle? Why not take the plane of higher meditation and follow the shortest path of yogis to God?
While meditating, a pious soul looks at the miserable material desires that dare to fill her, distracting her from her spiritual observations, from the highest continuous state of complete bliss, providing her with cheap worldly pleasures, which ultimately hide great suffering, both mental and physical.
In the morning, after waking up, instead of meditation, in which one can always be in divine happiness, most people eat heavy breakfasts, which cause digestive disorders and shorten their lives. Most people hate the light of eternal attainment that resides in meditation, and so it continues until they voluntarily eliminate the effects of bad habits by doing good deeds daily.
Whether you eat, ride, drink, play, go fishing, go to the movies, travel the world, earn a million dollars, meet your best friend, be the greatest man or king of the universe - all this never will give you the essential, ever-increasing joys that arise from the depths of ever-increasing meditation.
You need to know God, no matter how you get to know Him. The easiest way to get to know God is if you follow intensively (not only with split attention) the meditation technique and other teachings that we periodically teach, and after each meditation, especially in the evenings, gradually cry out to God:
Open Yourself!,
or you will pray that He will come to you, reveal himself to you in the language of your own heart. Forget about the time, but pray until you feel that you have forgotten everything, thinking about God. It is better to know God and enter heaven crippled than to love to sleep and be immersed in a hell of misery.
Meditation should become deeper and deeper
Your meditation should not be mechanical. The daily meditation should be deeper and deeper, more joyful than the previous day. If you can continue to increase this joy, then you will find, having attained the boundless joy of meditation, that this is the ultimate, fearless omniscience, an all-satisfying, serene, ever-new and imperishable state of Cosmic consciousness.
This joy cannot be attained by any other means, so do not deceive yourself into thinking that you can only reach God through charity, going to church or reading the Bible. Meditate alone at home and also in church in groups, at every opportunity. One hour of deep contact with God in the temple of our meditation is much more valuable than mechanical church attendance for a whole month.
Remember that scientists did not discover their inventions through blind prayers, but through meditation and the application of divine laws. Similarly, church members have not found God through blind prayer for centuries. They will find Him when they apply the laws of psycho-physical meditation, intuition and piety. God submits only to the laws of wisdom and piety.
Practicing Total Silence
Just as you could not hope to meditate next to the noise of a vacuum cleaner, so you cannot meditate until you have controlled your breathing, heart and lung sounds as they rage and swirl and thump in your physical body to clear your veins. blood.
