Very nice, thanks so much! Profound advice. Only thing is, as I was growing up, it was always my MOTHER whom I approached when I wanted/needed something. Almost never my father!!! :) Why this restriction of God as a male entity??? "Praise the Lord" is a very CHRISTIAN prayer. The Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) created "Monotheism" by what I call "Killing the Goddess." Anyhow the divine energy Shree Yogananda spoke about, is the Divine Shakthi. She is the Goddess, the Energy of the Universe. SHE is the infinite Giver, infinitely generous. Om Namah Shree Maatha.
