I do believe Yogananda is right about the connection between " health, success & wisdom outlook of life " and our habits.
I like the following suggestion Yogananda makes, " People should be taught from childhood to develop discrimination by meditative contact with the superior pleasures of peace, harmony and joy and should form spiritual habits early ". I wish I had known about Yogananda and had the opportunity to practice meditation and spiritual habits before now. Of course, I am very grateful that I now have this opportunity, thanks to the guidance of a dear friend.
Steve, you are lucky to have enriched your life with your spiritual and meditational habits of many years. May Guru continue to bless you on your Spiritual Journey and in all areas of your life.

Someone is being honored in a couple of days who said that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. We do not know how many incarnations we have been working on this spirituality. i have met monks who have had children and were married that are in a spiritual position i can not understand. Some of them have not started their (conscious) spiritual journey till later in life. Yours is eternity waiting before you and mine is sharing it with you. Each one of you that want to make the journey with me.
