ביטויה הרוחני של החברות (The Spritual Expression of Friendship - Hebrew)

"The relationship that exists between friends is the grandest of human loves....To wish for perfection for the loved one, and to feel pure joy in thinking of that soul, is divine love; and that is the love of true friendship."

- Paramahansa Yogananda

In this beautifully illustrated book, one of the most revered modern masters of yoga and spirituality unveils the profound spiritual depths waiting to be discovered in our relationships with others. He shows us how we can develop our capacity for friendship to the fullest - bringing not only an inwardly fulfilling harmony with those who are near and dear to us, but also an unfolding of our soul's highest potentials.

Outlining the universal practices underlying true friendship, Paramahansa Yogananda offers a timely prescription for strife-torn humanity. And he expands our understanding of friendship to embrace the joyful awareness of the One Friend who cherishes and supports us throughout all life's experiences - God.

Topics include:

• How to apply the unfailing laws of friendship

• Recognizing friends from past lives

• Developing the magnetism that draws true friends wherever we go

• How to practice loving those who do not love us

Paramahansa Yogananda extolled in his writings and exemplified in his life the ideal of friendship with all. One of his defining characteristics was his ability to interact with people from all walks of life, even those he had just met, as if they had been his lifelong friends. It was possible for him because he saw, he knew, each person as a soul, as a child of God. In this little volume, Yogananda tells us how to develop our own powers of divine love and friendship, so that we too can learn to see the Divine in all. In doing so, he says, we will experience God not just in loved ones, but in our very own self. Our ability to love all beings and all creation will awaken. "Love is the echo of Spirit reverberating through souls," Yogananda writes. "Love is the ocean of eternal unity, where the meandering rivers of all little lives are to merge into the resplendent vastness of blissful, immortal Spirit."
