In this talk by Yogoda Satsanga Society of India sannyasi Swami Suddhananda Giri, we receive practical and encouraging guidance on awakening to our true divine stature — and reclaiming the limitless joy and freedom that is our birthright.
Swami Suddhananda draws on the wisdom teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda to remind us that our true nature is ever pure and ever free — an “immortal spark” of the Divine, temporarily absorbed in the dream of the world. He reassures us that the path back to our true Self lies in continuously striving to remember our true identity. He quotes these inspiring words from Paramahansa Yogananda: “Self-realization is the knowing — in body, mind, and soul — that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it comes to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.”
We invite you to watch this inspiring talk which originally was given in November 2023 during a Sadhana Sangam held at the Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Math in Ranchi and is now permanently available for viewing on the YSS YouTube channel.
