This anthology of nearly 40 talks given over a period of three decades, offers answers to those seemingly unanswerable questions such as “Why are we here? What is our destiny, and how can we control it? What is God and why did He make this earth? And if God is good, why is there evil in this world? How can we experience greater joy and security?” From one who has solved the mystery of life himself, Paramahansa Yogananda lays out the divine laws at work in the universe, reminding us that we are in essence immortal beings with infinite potential, and teaches that “Our paramount duty while on earth is to change our status from that of a mortal being to that of a divine being.”
