There are two kinds of seekers: those who are like the baby monkey and

has complete trust in its mother. I am more like that; I give all
responsibility to the Divine Mother. But to maintain that attitude
takes great will. Under all circumstances — health or sickness, riches
or poverty, sunshine or gray clouds — your feeling must remain
unruffled. Even when you are in the coal bin of suffering you don't
wonder why the Mother placed you there. You have faith that She knows
best. Sometimes an apparent disaster turns into a blessing for you....
Gloom is but the shade of Divine Mother’s hand outstretched
caressingly. Don’t forget that. Sometimes, when the Mother is going to
caress you, a shadow is caused by Her hand before it touches you. So
when trouble comes, don’t think that She is punishing you; Her hand
overshadowing you holds some blessing as it reaches out to bring you
nearer to Her. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda ...Photo: Sri Yogananda with
