The Soul’s Immortal Power, by Paramahansa Yogananda.

Constantly cultivate the soul's immortal power, by meditation and God contact. Use that power in all difficulties. You are a child of God. You have no cause to be afraid. Identify with your soul each day in meditation, and you will know: "You come from God, you are Life Eternal. You live and move and have your being in that Power evermore."

Never accept the limitations of your environment. Remain inwardly ensconced in God's presence; there is no other haven of safety. In fearlessness affirm: "I am in God's presence. No harm can reach me, for in every situation of life physical, mental, financial, and spiritual; I am protected in the fortress of God's presence.

Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in His protection, His justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, His omnipresence.

Fear robs man of the indomitability of his soul; disrupting Nature's harmonious workings emanating from the source of divine power within.

Fear causes physical, mental, and spiritual disturbances. Instead of indulging in anxiety one should affirm: "I am ever safe in the fortress of Thy loving care."

Meditate. As soon as you take away the ripples of sensations from the lake of the mind, God's heavenly bliss bursts forth from the soul.

His bliss is already there, but it is hidden within you. The more you meditate the more you will feel the endless joy of God.

Form the habit of meditation. It is the only way to find everlasting happiness of the soul; and when you have that, nothing else matters.
