Realize that you are a part of Spirit and that just behind the spark of your life is the Flame of Infinity; just behind the glimmer of your thoughts is the Great Light of God. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Withdrawing the consciousness from the body and finite world and merging it in the Divine is the only way to liberation in God. Jesus meditated. To the crowds he taught moral and spiritual truths - the necessary first steps toward God; but to his close disciples he taught the higher science of meditation for actual union with God. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

What is Christ Consciousness? Christ is God’s Infinite Intelligence that is present in all creation. That Universal Intelligence, the Kutastha Chaitanya or Krishna Consciousness of the Hindu scriptures, was fully manifested in the incarnation of Jesus, Krishna, and other divine ones; and it can be manifested also in your consciousness. You, too, are a child of God. That same consciousness can be yours. - Paramahansa Yogananda.
