Inspiration and counsel from the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda
The great master gave the following concise and powerful teaching for attracting material and spiritual abundance—even in challenging times:
Thanksgiving and praise open in your consciousness the way for spiritual growth and supply to come to you. Spirit pushes Itself out into visible manifestation as soon as a channel is opened through which It can flow. You should be thankful for everything at all times. Realize that all power to think, and speak, and act comes from God, and that He is with you now, guiding and inspiring you.
In his Whispers from Eternity, Paramahansaji wrote these lines as a prayer we can all use to increase our receptivity to divine blessings:
When the summer of good fortune warms my tree of life, it easily burgeons with fragrant blossoms of thankfulness.
During winter months of misfortune, O Lord, may my denuded branches changelessly waft toward Thee a secret scent of gratitude.
For your many blessings be thankful every day, not only when the calendar indicates Thanksgiving-time. The basis for your gratitude should not be material prosperity. Whether your worldly possessions be many or few, you are still rich in gifts from God. Love Him, not for the outward things He may give you but for His gift to you of Himself as your Father.
On Monday, October 13, 2014, the Music Room of the SRF Books & Gifts store in Encinitas was dedicated to the memory of the legendary Indian musician, Pandit Ravi Shankar. In a ceremony attended by about fifty special guests, as well as monks and nuns of Self-Realization Fellowship, Sri Ravi Shankar's wife, Srimati Sukanya Shankar, unveiled a display that will remain permanently on exhibit in the Music Room.
