Nayaswami Jyotish shares this beautiful poem by Paramhansa Yogananda during his inspiring Sunday Service talk at the new Temple of Light at Ananda Village, July 7th, 2019.<\/p>\n

From the depths of slumber,
\nAs I ascend the spiral stairways of wakefulness,
\nI will whisper:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n

Thou art the food, and when I break my fast
\nOf nightly separation from Thee,
\nI will taste Thee, and mentally say:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n

No matter where I go, the spotlight of my mind
\nWill ever keep turning on Thee;
\nAnd in the battle din of activity, my silent war-cry will be:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n

When boisterous storms of trials shriek,
\nAnd when\u00a0worries howl<\/a>\u00a0at me,
\nI will drown their noises, loudly chanting:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n

When my mind weaves dreams
\nWith threads of memories,
\nOn that magic cloth will I emboss:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n

Every night, in time of deepest sleep,
\nWhen my peace dreams and calls, Joy! Joy! Joy!
\nAnd my joy comes singing evermore:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n

In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping,
\nServing, meditating, chanting, divinely loving,
\nMy\u00a0
soul<\/a> will constantly hum, unheard by any:
\nGod! God! God!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":530107,"template":"template-layout-full-width.php","categories":[1218],"tags":[],"series":[865],"ananda_video_audio":{"video_remote_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZREOIsCW56w","audio":"","length_in_seconds":"204","series_name":"Nayaswami Jyotish and Nayaswami Devi"},"yoast_head":"\nGod!
