QUOTE OF THE DAY

ExpansionJune 12

Everything is God. This very room and the universe are floating like a motion picture on the screen of my consciousness…. I look at this room and I see nothing but pure Spirit, pure Light, pure Joy…. The picture of my body and your bodies and all things in this world are only rays of light streaming out of that one sacred Light. As I see that Light I behold nothing anywhere but pure Spirit.

– Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
