Autobiography Chapter 16, Part 4: The cremation of doubt

This episode covers the next part of chapter 16: “On later occasions, when I brought my friends...” to “... formidable than are influences flowing from the heavens.”  Summary: This section further explores the concepts of destiny and fate – but what is the difference between the two? We focus on the importance of personal effort and spiritual training, with readings from the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda. We explore the influence of astrology and the capability of healing in the higher ages, as well as the concept of past actions influencing the present and future. Guruji emphasises the importance of self-realization regardless of the challenges of family perception.  0:00 Prior episode; 1:40 Fate; 22:00 Vibrations of a Self-Realised Person; 41:29 Faith and Divine Will 50:25 Animal Sacrifice; 55:20 Looking ahead.  Links discussed in this episode: https://yogananda.com.au/para/p_destiny1.html https://yogananda.com.au/para/p_fate.html https://yogananda.com.au/para/p_will.html https://youtu.be/mpAc3cKV7lA?si=GuKGPfYnldYqz_kn&t=2399  Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 16: “The starry inscription at one’s birth, I came to understand...” to “...the contrasts and relativities of the phenomenal universe.”  #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi  awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS
