Solving the Mystery of Life

“Learning the art of living in this world without giving up the divine image of calmness and joy in which God has created you — that is the mystery of life you have to solve. And that is what yoga teaches.” —Paramahansa Yogananda Solving the Mystery of Life is the fourth volume in a timeless series of anthologies featuring profound talks and essays from Paramahansa Yogananda. This collection, like its predecessors (Man’s Eternal Quest, The Divine Romance, and Journey to Self-realization), brings you the wisdom of Paramahansa Yogananda—shared extemporaneously in lectures, classes, and personal counsel. His words, preserved by his devoted disciple Sri Daya Mata, continue to inspire and guide seekers on the path to Self-realization. This anthology of nearly 40 talks given over a period of three decades, offers answers to those seemingly unanswerable questions such as “Why are we here? What is our destiny, and how can we control it? What is God and why did He make this earth? And if God is good, why is there evil in this world? How can we experience greater joy and security?” From one who has solved the mystery of life himself, Paramahansa Yogananda lays out the divine laws at work in the universe, reminding us that we are in essence immortal beings with infinite potential, and teaches that “Our paramount duty while on earth is to change our status from that of a mortal being to that of a divine being.” Whether you’re new to Yogananda’s teachings or a longtime follower, this book is a treasure trove of wisdom to illuminate your journey. Topics include: · Self-realization: Knowing Your Infinite Nature · Awakening Will Power for Success and Divine Accomplishment · Harmonizing Your Life With Spiritual Vibrations · The Divine Art of Erasing Age and Creating Vitality
