While we sleep we create a dream world that seems very real to us. Paramahansa Yogananda taught that this universe is similarly God’s cosmic dream, one that creates in us a seeming reality of being apart from the Divine. So how can we awaken from this cosmic dream and know our true soul-nature? In this talk with a period of meditation, Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Saralananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansaji on how yoga meditation, devotion, and right activity can gradually stir us from the limitations of this cosmic dream — so we can experience our eternal connection with the Divine and live filled with love and joy, even when facing challenges. This talk was given at the SRF temple in Hollywood, California, in June 2024.
