Stillness + Inner Absorption = Transcendence – every time! This formula underlies all spiritual experience—and anyone can put it to use. No matter what teachings you are drawn to you will find meditation or intensive prayer at the heart. Learn to become ever more still, ever more absorbed, and you will find your heart-mind awareness gradually expanded, uplifted, transformed—and ultimately transcendent.
Yogananda called the existence of life after death “the greatest mystery guarded by nature.”(1)
But the yogis have taught that not only do we reincarnate but that between lives, we live in astral realms such as heaven.
