…The basic source of bodily existence is prana (life energy)…
Pranayama, + life-energy control.
Through pranayama the adept is able to control the life energy
in the sensory and motor nerves,
and thus free his mind from body-consciousness
during meditation.
He is able also to use this life energy to heal or vitalize his body at will.

A man who works hard but with willingness
is borne up physically and mentally
by the cosmic current.

tapping the inexhaustible source of life energy

of the phenomenal world.

the method of converting matter into life force,
and life into Cosmic Consciousness,
as Christ, Krishna, and other Self-realized masters were able to do.

God is the only reality

Man’s duty therefore is to transcend

The Desire That Satisfies All Desires
…The prayer that should be first in every heart is the prayer for God’s presence.
When the object of your prayer is with you all the time,
you no longer have needed to pray.
and the divine quality of your good desires.
of such unwanted furnishings,
you must vigorously employ
constructive, positive, loving action.
First comes my duty to God,
and then I take care of all lesser duties.
a book of spiritualized prayers by Paramanhansa Yogananda.
A spiritualized prayer is one to which God has responded.
Any devotee praying deeply and sincerely to Him in those same words
will receive a similar blessing.
When you sit to meditate at night,
your nervousness and restlessness are still with you.
Learn to control your mind and body.
Be king of yourself.
Carry within you a portable heaven.

Man’s Eternal Quest
SAMADHI: The highest step on the Eightfold Path of Yoga. SAMADHI is attained when the meditator in the process of meditation (by which the mind is withdrawn from the senses by interiorization) and the object of meditation (GOD) become One.
In the initial states of God-communion (sabikalpa samadhi) the devotee’s consciousness merges in the Cosmic Spirit; his life force is withdrawn from the body, which appears “dead” or motionless and rigid. The yogi is fully aware of his bodily condition of suspended animation.
As he progresses to higher spiritual states (nirbikalpa samadhi), however, he communes with God without bodily fixation; and in his ordinary waking consciousness,
even in the midst of exactly worldly duties.
Both states are characterized by oneness with the ever-new bliss of Spirit,
but the nirbikalpa state is experience by only the most highly advanced masters.
