| Dear John,
"Countless are the forms in which God comes to man. In each, He seeks to teach man something of His infinite nature. Through your parents He cares for you, supports you, and protects you. Through your friends He shows you that love is a free sharing, without any hint of compulsion. Through the beloved He helps one to find the selfless intensity of divine love. Through people’s children He helps them to understand love as something precious, as a thing to be protected from harmful influences and nourished with devotion .... The lessons are there, for anyone whose heart is open to receive them." -Paramhansa Yogananda |
