On today’s program, we are honored to commemorate the birth of the revered enlightened Master, Lahiri Mahasaya (vegetarian). As part of this special occasion, we will present readings about His life and teachings from the book “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda (vegetarian). Chapter 35 The Christlike Life Of Lahiri Mahasaya “A significant feature of Lahiri Mahasaya’s life was His gift of Kriya initiation to those of every faith. Not Hindus only, but Moslems and Christians were among His foremost disciples. Monists and dualists, those of all faiths or of no established faith, were impartially received and instructed by the Universal Guru. One of His highly advanced disciples was Abdul Gufoor Khan, a Mohammedan. It shows great courage on the part of Lahiri Mahasaya that, although a high-caste Brahmin, He tried His utmost to dissolve the rigid caste bigotry of His time. Those from every walk of life found shelter under the Master’s omnipresent wings. Like all God-inspired Prophets, Lahiri Mahasaya gave new hope to the outcastes and down-trodden of society. ‘Always remember that you belong to no one, and no one belongs to you. Reflect that someday you will suddenly have to leave everything in this world – so make the acquaintanceship of God now,’ the great Guru told His disciples. ‘Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception. Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles. Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. Cease being a prisoner of the body; using the secret key of Kriya, learn to escape into Spirit.’ […]The great Guru taught His disciples to avoid theoretical discussion of the scriptures. ‘He only is wise who devotes himself to realizing, not reading only, the ancient revelations,’ He said. ‘Solve all your problems through meditation. Exchange unprofitable religious speculations for actual God-contact. Clear your mind of dogmatic theological debris; let in the fresh, healing waters of direct perception. Attune yourself to the active inner Guidance; the Divine Voice has the answer to every dilemma of life. Though man’s ingenuity for getting himself into trouble appears to be endless, the Infinite Succor is no less resourceful.’”
