If one busies himself with an outer display of scriptural wealth, what time is left for silent inward diving after the priceless pearls?” Sri - Paramahansa Yogananda

God is simple. Everything else is complex. Do not seek absolute values in the relative world of nature.

"Father, there is little to tell." She (Sri Anandamoyi Ma) spread her graceful hands in a deprecatory gesture. "My consciousness has never associated itself with this temporary body. Before I came on this earth, Father, 'I was the same.' As a little girl, 'I was the same.' I grew into womanhood, but still 'I was the same.' When the family in which I had been born made arrangements to have this body married, 'I was the same... And, Father, in front of you now, 'I am the same.' Ever afterward, though the dance of creation change[s] around me in the hall of eternity, 'I shall be the same.' (Chapter 45)

The more deeply we perceive, the more striking becomes the evidence that a uniform plan links every form in manifold nature.
