[Jitendra Hydonus]

There is a lot of ugliness and disharmony in the world.  What about the judgement and wrath of God ?   If we could come up with another word except the 'G' word -- The Absolute Truth or the Supreme Self might work better.   The Eternal Blissful Awareness.   If we could accept this concept of God we might be better off.

Does your experience of God really prove the existence of a God?   People have all different kinds of experiences about reality.   Paramahansa Yogananda was in Mexico.  He was looking at a lake and observing how beautiful it was.  He received  the intuition that the man standing next to him had a different perception of it and he asked the man: "What do you think?"  The man was an engineer and replied: "I think if the lake was drained we could make better use of the land."

Sri Yukteswar tapped Yogananda on the chest and he had an experience of cosmic consciousness for weeks after.  This type of ever-new Joy convinces every cell of our being. The proof of God cannot be proven by the mind.  The mind has to be still.  We cannot think our selves into that consciousness.  You must meditate and create an environment of inner stillness.
