How can we bring God closer, so that lasting peace and joy become part of our everyday reality? Paramahansa Yogananda explained that God is “ever-existing, ever-conscious, ever-new Bliss.” And in this talk with a period of meditation, Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Kartikananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansaji on how, through regular meditation, we can experience within ourselves that same bliss, which is the true nature of the soul as a reflection of the Divine. As we strive to carry that happiness with us throughout the day, we find our actions infused with a positive attitude and we more selflessly serve others — steadily progressing on the spiritual path. This talk was recorded at the SRF temple in Glendale, California, in September 2024.
