Quote of the Week

The Source of All Happiness

"What God gives us is the opportunity to connect directly with Him, to taste the Eternal, to become a vessel for Divine Love, to literally know God, to experience the indescribable bliss of connecting with the very Being, the very Light, the very Love that created us. . . It is this eternal, omnipresent, formless, all-merciful Being of Pure Love we are really seeking. It is the source of all of our happiness and every moment of inner peace we have ever experienced."

John E. Welshons, When Prayers Aren't Answered. Navato, CA: New World Library, 2007, p.30.

God is Divine Lover

"He (God) is the Divine Lover perpetually wed to every soul, never forsaking any soul though it forsake Him in its adulterous roaming in delusions. God as the Perfect Lover pursuies each soul through incarnations until it returns to Him. Of all the love that has ever been promised, pure love, love that is eternal, is found at last in God. He is all the love of all the lovers that ever loved. When the soul meets Him, it knows He is the One it was waiting to meet."

Paramahansa Yogananda, The Second Coming of Christ, Vol. II, Self Realization Fellowship, 2004. p. 1209.
