KRIYA YOGA GIVES THE TRUE EXPERIENCE OF RELIGION

When by Kriya Yoga I open my spiritual eye, the whole world drops away from my consciousness, and God is with me. And why not ? I am His child. St. Ignatius said, " God seeks willing hearts that He may give His bounties to them..." That is most beautiful, and that is what I believe. God seeks willing hearts for the bestowal of His gifts. He is willing to give up everything, but we are not willing to make the effort to be receptive. He looks into our hearts, and if they are filled with something else, He does not come. But when you can truthfully say to Him, "Lord, there is nothing in my heart but Thee," He will come. For a while He will play hide-and-seek with you, but if you are persistent, you will begin to see wonderful things happening, mysteriously, that you know come from God. In time, you will perceive His clear response in the form of direct answers to your prayers, or in visions of the saints. Then at last He will come to you openly. You will be able to talk to Him; you will be able to commune with Him.
