Steve Jobs said.
"I have reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.
In the eyes of others, my life was the symbol of success.
However, apart from work, I have a little joy.
In the end
wealth is just a fact of life that I have become accustomed to.
In this moment, lying in the hospital bed and remembering my entire life,
I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was so proud have become insignificant
In the face of imminent death.
In the dark, when I look at the green lights of the artificial respiration machines
and hear the hum of their mechanical sounds,
I can feel the breath of death approaching.
Only now have I realized,
once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life,
that we need to pursue other goals that are not related to wealth.
It should be something more important:
for example love stories,
art,
the dreams of when I was a child.
Stopping to pursue wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God gave us the senses to make us feel the love in the heart of each of us,
not the illusions built by fame.
The money I have earned in my life I cannot take with me.
What I can take with me are only memories strengthened by love.
This is the true wealth that will follow you, accompany you,
give you the strength and light to move forward.
Love can travel a thousand miles.
Life has no limits.
Go where you want to go.
Reach the peaks you want to reach.
It's all in your heart and in your hands.
What is the most expensive bed in the world?
The hospital bed.
You can hire someone to drive the car for you,
who earns money for you,
but you can't have someone who bears the illness for you.
Lost material things can be found.
But there is one thing that can never be found again when it is lost: life.
Whatever stage of life we are in right now,
we will eventually face the day when the curtain falls.
Treasure the love of your family,
the love of your spouse,
the love of your friends.
Treat yourself well.
Take care of your neighbor."
-Steve Jobs
In fact...
this is the conclusion of Wisdom
to which life leads us anyway,
in one way or another,
but on the Spiritual Path
we have the privilege of being able to get there sooner
and without undergoing this torment and suffering.
inherent to reincarnation cycles.
The Guru teaches us
that Karma can also be sublimated with divine Wisdom and Love.
Jai Guru
is His sweet Smile in us
Yogananda said.
When you know that God is a part of your being,
you feel no reason to seek from Him any other gain.
I sought spiritual power once;
but now I don’t ask God for anything.
I love Him and I know He loves me;
I don’t want anything else.
-- Paramahansa Yogananda

Individual and group meditation both are desirable.
In addition, group meditation also recharges the mind with the vibrations of the spiritual convictions of other souls.
Meditation in solitude gives depth;
and meditation in groups reinforces each devotee’s individual effort with an invisible vibration of combined spiritual power.
-- Paramahansa Yogananda
THE BEST TIME FOR PRAYER
"The love between the soul and the Spirit is perfect;
it is the love you all seek.
When you meditate, love grows ever greater.
Infinite beats of joy fill your heart.
If you meditate deeply,
you will be filled with a feeling of love so great that no human words can describe;
you will know His divine love
and be able to love others with the same pure love."
"Thus, deep prayer works.
The best time to pray is at night,
when there are fewer distractions.
If necessary, get some sleep in the evening,
so that you can be wide awake when you say your prayers at night,
confiding in God.
It may seem difficult at first,
but as you keep trying,
you will find it easier.
You will be surprised at the results.
As soon as your will becomes powerful,
God begins to respond.
And when the Infinite condescends to break His vow of silence,
you will no longer be able to contain your joy.”
-- Paramahansa Yogananda

Kriya Yoga Lessons.
Those who think me near, I will be near.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The Technique for Connecting with a Guru*
consists of concentrating on his image,
placing your attention at the center of your forehead
(the Kutastha, or center of Christ Consciousness)
and continuing to visualize him intensely,
affirming and praying internally:
"You are my Guru;
I am your disciple.
You are always with me.
Please let me know God through your divine perception and your union with Him.
The greater the strength of your visualization and faith,
the greater will be the manifestation of God
In response to this affirmation and the prayer addressed to the Guru.
It makes no difference whether the Guru is still incarnate
or in another sphere of existence.
If you have faith and continue to intensely pronounce your prayer and affirmation to perceive his presence,
you will be able to connect with him,
and through him with God,
at any time and in any place.
Paramahansa Yogananda
An Affirmation to Practice*
O Immortal Master,
I bow to you
who are the voice of the silent God.
I bow to you
who are the divine door that leads to the temple of salvation.
