Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Govindananda discusses Paramahansa Yogananda’s teaching on meditation—that not only do we want to experience God’s presence as peace, love, joy, in meditation, but to take that awareness with us during the day, no matter what’s going on around us.

The importance of seeing our spiritual efforts as a divine offering, Brother Govindananda points out, is discussed in detail in Lesson 5 of the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons, the home-study course on meditation and the art of balanced spiritual living from Paramahansa Yogananda.
