Rousing Devotion through Kriya Meditation from “Sayings of Yogananda” “Though I try to calm my mind, I lack the power to banish restless thoughts and to penetrate the world within,” a visitor remarked. “I must be lacking in devotion.”
“Sitting in silence trying to feel devotion may often get you nowhere,” Yogananda said. “That is why I teach scientific techniques of meditation. Practice them and you will be able to disconnect the mind from sensory distractions and from the otherwise ceaseless flow of thoughts.” He added, “By Kriya [meditation] one’s consciousness functions on a higher plane; devotion to the Infinite Spirit then arises spontaneously in one’s heart.”
