Truth is exact correspondence with reality.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image

Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert.

Ever-new Joy is God. He is inexhaustible as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging Him for any other happiness He is seductive beyond thought of competition.
