Just like Christ, Yogananda is a reflection of the Father... At least- Anandamayi Ma would call him so. And to me... She is Divine Mother.
And she is the one who recognizes change and changelessness existing simultaneously.
From SRI MA one can but rarely get a definite decision on any problem. That is why I wondered of what use it was to write down her utterances? I asked SRI MA about it.
SRI MA: At least you have understood that there is a state, ’where’ problems are no longer settled in any particular way. In the course of your life you have after careful consideration come to a decision on many questions, have you not? But now you will have to realize that no solution is ever conclusive; in other words, you will have to go beyond the level where there is certainty and uncertainty. The resolution of a problem arrived at by the mind must of necessity be from a particular point of view; consequently there will he room for contradiction, since your solution represents but one aspect. What then have you actually solved? You will find a complete and final solution of each particular question from its own particular angle of emergence; and you will also find that there is a place where all problems (actual and possible) have but one universal solution, in which there is no longer any room left for contradiction. The question of solution or non-solution will then cease to arise: whether one says ‘yes’ or ‘no’, - everything is THAT.
I find Ma’s assessment about solutions solved by the intellect as very helpful. Because the mind gives a view that is arrived at from the viewers point of view, which emerges from their ego concerns. Whether one says to this ‘yes’ or ‘no’, everything is THAT. So perhaps 🤔 while the view of others and the solutions arrived at comes from a particular angle of emergence…. The question of solution or non solution is yet unattainable and may necessitate the element of time to recognize THAT. I’m of the opinion that all these contradictions will manifest until THAT has come into being. In the meantime we still experience the ego in ourselves and others. We at times can only wait as the power of the ego of others around us determines temporary circumstances, which at times we must acknowledge until we find ourselves beginning to be under the guidance of the dark presence of their ego. At which time we may have to take a new and different approach that integrates the momentum of dharma and the souls direction.
