In this episode, SRF nun Sister Usha conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda about the all-embracing Divine Mother, God in the aspect of perfect unconditional love.
We all yearn to be loved unconditionally — fully understood and accepted without reservation. When we approach God as a child appealing to our Divine Mother, we can experience the sympathetic understanding, tenderness, and nurturing care that our souls crave. And as we draw closer we ultimately realize that the Divine Mother sees us as we truly are — a beautiful, shining soul, one with Spirit.
This talk, which includes a period of meditation, was recorded at the SRF temple in Glendale, California, in May 2024.
