Spiritual Victory Through Attunement With the Guru
from The Wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda · host Self-Realization Fellowship
SRF monk Brother Bhumananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how attunement with a true guru helps one to be supremely victorious in all inner and outer pursuits.A true guru has reached the ultimate goal of oneness with the Divine and has been given the sublime role of leading other souls on that same divine quest. Following the guru’s guidance enables seekers of higher consciousness to identify more and more with their soul-nature when striving to overcome life’s everyday challenges. And ultimately the guru’s unconditional help leads to seekers winning the inner spiritual battle of realizing their own oneness with God’s infinite peace and joy.In this talk, recorded at the 2008 SRF World Convocation in Los Angeles, Brother Bhumananda refers to Paramahansa Yogananda, guru and founder of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, simply as “Master,” being a reverential way to address one’s guru and signifying a soul who has achieved full self-mastery.You can help more people find and benefit from Yogananda’s practical wisdom by rating and reviewing this podcast.
