Divine Mom shared a message with me this morning via Her play of daylight and mist. It’s captured right here within the following video.

The Divine Romance

The gardening crew at Crystal Hermitage had simply completed organising sprayers for an extended mattress of irises that adorned a welcoming walkway. The solar was at excessive midday making my newfound pal, the miniature rainbow, clearly seen to me alongside the spray line.

What was Divine Mom’s message for me? She needed to remind me of the best way to search God and the best way to perceive each the impersonal and private dance that makes up the Divine Romance.

Rainbows are lovely and maintain a non secular significance. God blessed Noah with a rainbow after the Nice Flood as a divine covenant. Swami Kriyananda had an affinity for them. On particular events, massive rainbows span the whole sky within the Yuba River valley on the Crystal Hermitage. In fact, rainbows are merely elegant, emanating magnificence, gentle, and divine intelligence.

This rainbow captured my consideration regardless that it was a small one. I used to be struck by the considered how a rainbow is fashioned. Mild is refracted via water. The potential for a rainbow exists actually anyplace gentle and water meet nevertheless it takes a witness standing in the best spot to understand it. The luminous potential has to awaken subjectively within the eye of the fortunate beholder.

God’s Everlasting Mild

God is omnipresent in all creation. His gentle shines eternally via the Christ Consciousness in each sub-particle of the cosmos simply because the Solar unceasingly casts its gentle on planet Earth. That is His impersonal actuality. Because the Heavenly Father, He’s impersonally huge, however the Divine Mom is utmost and private in attending to the wants, ideas, and emotions of each particular person soul.

It’s each soul’s future to merge again into Cosmic Consciousness, however till we attain that supreme state now we have to expertise life via the little cup of our ego. Each now and again we get a glimmer of God’s presence via the veil of creation. Within the meantime, how can we increase the cup of our consciousness to obtain the Divine?

Yogananda gave the next analogy. Think about an individual who’s trapped in a darkish room for a really very long time. Despite the fact that his eyesight could also be completely superb, he suffers from a conditional blindness. His method out is to not beat on the darkness with a stick, however to open the door and let within the gentle.

Religious ignorance is an affliction to the soul. We endure once we really feel the absence of God’s gentle and pleasure in our lives. The answer is all the time an inward one. Open the center with devotion, and direct one’s power and consciousness upward in the direction of the non secular eye. A little bit instinct might even develop alongside the best way.

There may be an artwork and science to yoga and the non secular path. The devotee searching for internal success learns to steadiness feeling and motive and to maintain each the center and thoughts open and impressed. I obtain an abundance of this twofold inspiration from Yogananda’s Whispers from Eternity and his chants, in addition to from Swami Kriyananda’s music.

Prayer Demand for the Opening of the Religious Eye to Discover God in Every little thing (103)
