Swamiji gives advice on increasing yearning for God. Talk excerpt 173.

From Mother Radha’s notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

If your heart does not cry for God, then yearn for Him. But we are suffering from numbness. Day and night think of this, and read holy stories of how great saints and sages lived, and what increased their love for God. Then, one day, we may feel for the Creator, the Provider.

I used to question like this: ‘If I grow up, go to school, enjoy the world, then I will pass away like a worm. Is this all there is to life or is there a greater purpose to life?’

Your real state is when you are at peace with everything. Other things may knock you, but you are always at peace with everything. This is all-round auspiciousness.

Say the peace prayer. If God is everywhere He cannot deny you – but in ignorance we deny Brahman. We must have faith in the words of the Guru and the scriptures; and, if you are broad minded, in the words of the saints, who are Satchidananda Absolute.

What makes things expand and contract? Prana – God – Krishna. When you sleep, prana digests the food for you. Prana is the breath of your breath, the energy of your energy.

As sadhakas [spiritual seekers or aspirants], we do not want anything to control our mind. In hypnotism part of the brain is non-functional. In God-realisation, the whole brain is functional. It’s like the whole light bulb is functional in this Super-conscious state.

God-realisation is knowing everything; it is Absolute; it is whole; it is not partial.
