A student was wavering between the path of renunciation and a long desired career. The master said tenderly “All fulfilments you are seeking and much more are awaiting you in God”.
“God supplies quickly any need of His devotees, because they have eliminated the thwarting cross-currents of ego, the Master said ” In the early days of Mt. washington Centre, a mortgage payment was due; but we had no money in the bank. I prayed very deeply, telling the Lord: ‘The welfare of the organisation is in Thy hands’. The Divine Mother apeared before me . She said in English: “I am your stocks and bonds; I am your security’. ” A few days later I received in the mail a large donation for the centre.”

Effort
To coax God to give Himself takes steady, unceasing zeal. Nobody can teach you that zeal. You have to develop that yourself. “You can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.” Yet when the horse is thirsty it seeks out water with zeal. So, when you have an immense thirst for the Divine, when you will not give undue importance to anything else — the tests of the world or the tests of the body — then He will come.
—Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, “How You Can Talk With God”
