“God made man in his image and all those who know him in spirit can realize the divinity sleeping within them by expanding the powers of the mind. Being children of God we have potential dominion over all things in his universe, even as he has.” Paraphrased from the chapter 'Receiving God's Answer's to your prayers' in Journey to Self Realization by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda - Guru and Founder of Self Realization Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.
The above paragraph contains the greatest truth ‘We are Gods’ and it is just that we have not realized it. Our true potential is hidden deep because our ego has taken over which says that we are limited to this body. We refuse to wake up from this slumber; at times, we wake up but fall asleep again. We make very little effort to awaken in us the cosmic consciousness. We have to remove the veil of ignorance by introspecting the way we live our lives on a daily basis. We must constantly make an effort to improve. The divine laws are so perfect that to master it may take more than a lifetime, however one must try one's best to acheive as much as possible within this lifetime that is given. That is why it is important we start the effort today and ensure we continue it devoutly. It should not be another routine but rather a time when you are going to be your own self. As we progress we realize our true self not only at a given time but all through – day and night. This will ultimately lead to simple living and high thinking.
