Lesson 93

In Lesson 93 Paramahansa Yogananda explains the technique of relaxing at will. He says that "the first signs of cosmic consciousness are: The fixed gaze, the consciously stilled heart, and breathlessness. If one cannot demonstrate these he has not attained Cosmic Consciousness."

"The ego attempts to satisfy through material channels the soul's constant insatiable longing for GOD. Far from accomplishing its objective, it increases man's misery. The soul's hunger can never be appeased by indulgence in the senses. When man realizes this and masters his ego, that is when he achieves self-control, his life becomes glorified by the awareness of divine bliss while still in the flesh."

i find it interesting that PY is saying mastering the ego and self-control are synonymous.

"By means of maya, the cosmic delusive force, God is holding the searchlights of your senses so that you are attracted to matter."

This is a complex God we are talking about who gives us maya and enlightenment at the same time depending on what we choose. Were we in this decision making process when we ended up here?
