From the Spiritual Diary, August 27, Meditation: Why should God surrender Himself easily to you? You who work so hard for money and so little for divine realization! The Hindu saints tell us that if we would give so short a time as 24 hours to continuous, uninterrupted prayer, the Lord would appear before us or make Himself known to us in some way. If we devote even one hour daily to deep meditation on Him, in time He will come to us. - Paramahansa Yogananda, "Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda"
