Öll erum vér bárur á bylgjum hafsins

,,Öll erum vér bárur á bylgjum hafsins," sagði meistarinn. ,,Hafið getur haft tilveru, þó það hafi engar öldur, en öldur geta ekki verið il án hafsins. Á sama hátt getur andinn verið til án mannsins, en maðurinn getur ekki verið til án andans."

 

Spakmæli Yogananda  

Only when you are free of fear

When you are free of fear there is the strong feeling of being good, of thinking very clearly, of looking at stars, of looking at clouds, of looking at faces with a smile. And when there is no fear, you can go much further. Then you can find out for yourself that for which man has searched generation after generation. In caves in the south of France and in northern Africa there are 25,000-year-old paintings of animals fighting men, of deer, of cattle. They are extraordinary paintings. They show man’s endless search, his battle with life and his search for the extraordinary thing called God. But he never finds that extraordinary thing. You can only come upon it darkly, unknowingly, when there is no fear of any kind.
