Further Teachings

Maybe - that depends on the interpretations.

Q: When I asked you whether God has planned salvation for humans on earth, you told me to ask Gott that question. . . . It would, essentially, be like asking myself that question, and the honest answer I can give is that I do not know. How you suppose I am to ask Gott this question?

Do the regulated amounts of yogas, sit in deep contemplation and fold your hands. Then use prayer, that is, mental prayer. Focus and pray then. Repeat as often as needs be . . .

Never pray . . . with a sense of hopelessness, thinking that God will not listen to your prayers. The . . . way to know God through prayer is by persistency, regularity, and depth of . . . effort. - Paramahansa Yogananda, in Inner Culture, September 1939.

Real prayers . . . can bring conscious response from God, must be offered in meditation, intensely . . . until divine response comes. - Paramahansa Yogananda, in Inner Culture, 1936.

Why should we think that? We can pray. Distance does not seem to matter at all with telepathy either, professor Jessica Utts sums up.

Q: Life is a grand paradox, so I would only be asking myself this question, and I honestly do not know the answer. Yet you say that my path is awakening. How can I awaken?

Patanjali's yoga terminology refers to the states of mind (consciousness). Pratyahara, dharana (focus), dhyana (meditation), samadhi, and further.
      Compare waking state, dreaming state, deep sleep state, turya (the fourth) state of ancient works, including Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
      Awakening (a Buddhist term too), refers to becoming increasingly conscious of deep mind - into Essence.

Q: Maybe I am . . . a glorious being . . . too much for a conscious mind to take. I was closer to this thing before, when it all started.

Hm . . .
