An introduction:
As the new year dawns and a sense of higher possibilities awakens, would you like to know the spirit with which Paramahansa Yogananda encouraged all to embrace life’s potential for soul-discovery and transformation?
“No one should live without creative effort…” Paramahansaji once said. “You must exercise your divine gift of creativity in some way. It is never too late.” And he also said: “Every time you feel limitations, close your eyes and say to yourself, ‘I am the Infinite,’ and you will see what power you have.”
We hope you can draw inspiration from the following poem from Paramahansaji’s book Songs of the Soul — at this or any other time — for creating material and spiritual success, and lasting happiness.
“The Noble New” by Paramahansa Yogananda
Sing songs that none have sung,
Think thoughts that ne’er in brain have rung,
Walk in paths that none have trod,
Weep tears as none have shed for God,
Give peace to all to whom none other gave,
Claim him your own who’s everywhere disclaimed.
Love all with love that none have felt, and brave
The battle of life with strength unchained.
Listen to “The Noble New”
