To me there is no difference between one person and another; I behold all as soul-reflections of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings. Then you will be able to love others as your own Self.

Yes, absolutely. Paramahanse Yogananda was a gift of God to humanity.

I agree with the part that says there is no difference between one person and another, for we all emanate from the One God. But I am not as "monistic" as that quote. I think we are separate from God. I do think we have a part of God within us, but I think we still remain separate. But I don't really know.

It's certainly an elevating thought.
Can we truly apply it to our daily lives? We are raised to be judgmental. To see and create divisions between people. You can bask in that idea and it does feel nice to think about it, but how many of us actually have the strength and faith to apply it on a daily basis? I for one feel I have limitations in that way.

that's annoying one yet... "i think all individuals who have confidence in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a accountability to oppose bigotry and prejudice in accordance with sexual orientation." this is with the aid of Coretta Scott King this one is extra useful to me. :-)

absolutely right, but if want such feeling you need strong devotion and "shradha" towards your "Guru". If you have a "Guru" don't worry he will take you up to that station.It may take days,years or lifes.

No, I don't. It's a nice idea, but there is no god either in us or out there.

To know myself is not to know God.
To know myself is to know my need for God.
