Only love

Today we celebrate the Mahasamadhi (the conscious exit of an enlightened soul from the body) of my guru, Paramhansa Yogananda.

Thinking about his greatness and the blessing he has been in my life, I reflect on his powerful words:

“Remember this: When I am gone, only love can take my place. Be absorbed night and day in the love of God, and give that love to all.

What a promise. And what an assignment. I have a ways to go to “be absorbed night and day in the love of God,” but still — I try my best to give God’s love to all.

Only love…

I can’t find words to express how grateful I am for this life and my spiritual path. “Thank you” will have to do. 💖
