just been reading today in this book “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda
if you haven’t read it I highly suggest you do
one of the great yogic texts
of this flood of yogic information
Coming to America at this certain time
and I’ll read this little paragraph that
who said in there this is uh his Guru
was
saying to him
kriya yoga the scientific technique of
God realization
he finally said with solemnity will
ultimately spread in all lands and Aid
and harmonizing the Nations through
man’s personal transcendental perception
of the infinite father
so
a couple things about that
it’s interesting they call it a
scientific I have to study some more
Korea yoga I’ve studied some of it and
and I I like the teachings of yogananda
and when I was in LA I spent a lot of
time in
foreign
Temple out there they had a couple of
Yogananda temples out there beautiful
properties great place to meditate and
get connected
so I’m wondering like if you said uh
this is scientific to certain scientists
I know these scientists would would
adamantly object they would say
something to the effect of
is it peer-reviewed or is it
replicatable so
I do I am curious
about what they say the reasoning is
that this um
yogic method the kriya yoga is
scientific
um but also
it’s interesting that it’s just very
similar in a whole different country in
a whole different culture they have a
similar feeling as
the Christians talking about the
infinite father
being recognized in all lands and
unifying
the people so it’s
I’m wondering if it’s this deep inner
sentiment of of all humans to have this
God Consciousness or or their version of
the infinite mind the
to be accepted in all lands there’s a
certain push for people to be unified
and that goes across to all cultures or
maybe it’s just certain individuals
within that culture
I’m not sure what my audio is I’m going
to read the paragraph again to you
kriya yoga the scientific technique of
God realization will ultimately spread
in all lands and Aid and harmonizing the
nation through man’s personal
transcendental
perception of the infinite father I like
that idea that
you could make God realization
scientific like a specific way to
connect
because a lot of it in a lot of
different
cultures and religions
is
more poetic and more
metaphorical and
more
full of different mythologies and dogmas
in their pursuit of the infinite and you
know
ultimately uh
forget what I was going to say
ultimately
the different manifestations of
our search or the Divine take on
different cultural influences
and
it’s all these different colorations of
the same
Pursuit
just uh
man trying to understand
the universe and make sense out of it a
lot of atheists I know would would say
you know there’s
there’s no God this is all
this is all
hogwash I I personally believe in God
and of course my God is different than
everybody else has got this is why I
like
um
cultures from India they’re very
open-minded about different people’s
view of God because God Is So infinite
how could there be one Viewpoint and all
the different peoples manifested minds
on the earth you know have their own
colorization of this infinite thing so
if something is so infinite and
inexpressible each different person’s
point of view of it is going to be
colored with the individuals
experiences and
and
my infinite my my finite this little
sand Speck of dust in the universe that
I am
can’t possibly
understand
the the infinite or I can I
I don’t think I have yet
I’m searching for it I want to
understand the infinite
but
I’m just a speck of dust you know
relatively compared to the infinite
great Universal
Consciousness this
the essence of of all things
so my personal experiences color
how I view
the infinite that’s like you know they
say like the mirror like projecting like
people project their own emotions onto
other people
so that we do the same thing with God
and the idea of God the concept of uh
infinite mind God Brahma Buddha Krishna
whatever you want to call it whatever
you want to call it
so it’s more like
you know
they said God created man in His image
well it’s more like the other way
it’s really more like man creates God
and is image
because of our personal experiences
color that thing that we perceive and
this is also being found in uh
you know quantum mechanics you know
a lot of
people are saying you know people are
discovering
way particles and
microscopic atoms move and behave and
stuff and they’re like
are these scientists
discovering the way the universe works
and where these microscopic particles
work
or are
they creating it because they think it
should behave a certain way are their
minds affecting the microscopic
particles to make them behave a certain
way
I don’t know I need to study more
quantum mechanics I haven’t been into
studying it a lot recently
mostly because I came in contact with
with scientists that were greatly
discouraging
so that also uh
uh consider themselves a spiritualist
and they will be my friend forever
but so many scientists
such animosity towards spirituality it’s
amazing like this like violent emotional
violence towards
spiritualism
come on man
a lot of the
this might be a point for another
another
video I don’t know I’ll just go ahead
and talk about it right now and I’m on a
roll baby let’s get let’s get it
wow
I don’t forgot what I was going to say
or I’m going deep let’s see what was uh
oh there’s a butterfly
[Music]
I can go twice as high
yeah
I guess it’s not a one well I’ll
listen to this video again and
and
see whatever I was saying toward the end
there and uh
and
expound upon that for another video
