“In the world, not of the world”
Srimati Karuna, Minister
Sunday Bulletin
What the senses can perceive gives us only a limited experience of our universe. In order to become fully aware, a different effort is required. The Isha Upanishad implores us: “Do not follow the way of the worldly minded.” The material world is the expression of the spiritual or the real. It is for us both a known and an unknown mystery.
“Try to remember you are a traveler here and you will move on to dissimilar and fascinating worlds. Do not limit your thought to one life or one world. Remember the vastness of Spirit within you.”
—Swami Yogananda
“So shall we come to look at the world with new eyes. It shall answer the endless inquiry: What is truth? And what is good? Build, therefore, your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold its great proportion.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
