“God-realization is the most difficult state to reach. Let no one fool himself, nor think that someone else can "give" it to him. Whenever I fell into a state of mental stagnation, my Master could do nothing for me. But I never gave up trying to keep in tune with him by cheerfully performing whatever he asked me to do. "I have come to him for God-realization," I reasoned, "and I must listen to his advice."” ThinkingGivingTryingStatesDifficultAdviceMastersFoolSelf RealizationRealizationPerformingTunesGave UpStagnation Author:Paramahansa Yogananda
