Week 38: Intuition is Simple: The Intellect is Complex
Our Affirmation For September Stanza 9
From the book
The Beatitudes: Their Inner Meaning by Swami Kriyananda
Rays of One Light: Weekly Commentaries on the
Bible and The Bhagavad Gita
by Swami Kriyananda
In the Gospel of St. Mark, Chapter 10, we read a passage that Yogananda often quoted:
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Paramhansa Yogananda described intuition as
“the soul’s power of knowing God.”
Therefore it was that Sri Krishna said, in the ninth Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita:
To you, who are free from the carping spirit, I shall now reveal wisdom sublime. Grasping it with your mind, and perceiving it by intuitive realization, you shall escape the evils of delusion.
Excerpted From Week 38: Intuition is Simple: The Intellect is Complex
What inspired me from this week’s reading from the Rays of One Light to share with everyone was…
“To receive the kingdom of God, Jesus was saying, one must do so with the openness and trust of a little child”.
We take this saying by Sri Krishna into our meditation together. But firstly we will listen to
Thousands of Suns by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Let’s Reflect on
