Blending the wisdom of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with her own direct experience garnered from more than 75 years of seeking and loving God, Sri Sri Daya Mata reveals practical and deeply motivating insights on personalizing the spiritual life, showing how each one of us can create an inner quietude that opens our hearts to God.
When we call God from the quiet centre of our hearts, she tells us, we discover the love we have been seeking. Finding God's love, we come to love others more deeply live life more fully, and experience a greater sense of serenity and joy. Compassionate and inviting, this book makes an ideal devotional companion to read, reflect on, and share with others.
Every human being yearns for love. From childhood, that was the tremendous desire of my heart; to me, there is no meaning to life without love. But I had the notion that I could never be content with imperfect love. The love that would satisfy me was a love unconditional, a love that would never disappoint me. My reason told me that in seeking perfect love, I must go to the Source; I must go to the One who alone is capable of giving such love. Thus began my search for God.
I was a girl of seventeen when, in 1931, my quest led to a meeting that forever changed my life. I had the good fortune to attend a series of lectures given in my hometown of Salt Lake City by a great man of God, Paramahansa Yogananda. In the years that followed, I learned from him the way to total fulfilment of the lifelong yearning of my heart: perfect love, divine love the all-consuming love experienced in communion with the Eternal Beloved of our souls.
During my travels all over the world, so many people have asked me, "How can I find greater meaning in my life? Is there an answer to the emptiness, the unexpressed longing, I feel within my heart? Where is the love I am missing?"
This, in essence, is what I tell them.
