From the Spiritual Diary, July 4, Freedom: Birthday of Sri Gyanamata. The way to freedom is through service to others. The way to happiness is through meditation and being in tune with God.... Break the barriers of your ego; shed selfishness; free yourself from the consciousness of the body; forget yourself; do away with this prison house of incarnations; melt your heart in all, be one with all creation. - Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons
