Loyalty


True devotees may be called fanatical in their devotion to Him. The only right kind of fanaticism is loyalty to God - night and day, night and day, thinking of Him. Without this kind of loyalty it is impossible to find God. Those who never miss Kriya, and who sit long in meditation and pray intensely to God, will discover the longed-for Treasure. - Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"

God is ever
calling you through the flute of my heart. Follow the truth that God has sent through Self-Realization Fellowship and you shall be forever blessed. Falter no more, you who have heard these words. I urge upon you - forget Him not. Our bodies may perish, but let our souls forever blaze as eternal stars in the heart of God. Paramahansa Yogananda, "Self-Realization Magazine"

You will find that everything will betray you if you betray your loyalty to God. So let not one drop of oil fall from the lamp of your attention in the sanctuary of silence as you meditate each day; yet carefully perform your duties in the world. Paramahansa Yogananda, "Self-Realization Magazine"

God is equally present in all, but He is most definitely expressed in the heart of the spiritually minded, loyal person who thinks only of Him. Through your loyalty to God you can establish your Oneness with Him. Loyalty attracts the Divine Attention. Thus when the storms of life gather, and the waves of trials buffet you, you can guide the boat of your life safely to the divine shores by realizing His omnipresence. Paramahansa Yogananda, in a "Para-gram"
