Swami Kriyananda discusses a passage in his book Conversations with Yogananda as an episode of a TV series filmed in India.
In this talk, Swami Kriyananda reflects on how God experiences His own joy through the infinite variety of souls, each uniquely expressing divine bliss once freed from spiritual ignorance. Using the image of a stained-glass window obscured by mud, he describes how spiritual purification allows each soul's distinctive light to shine. He speaks of the aura that radiates from saints and great works of literature and art, including the Bhagavad Gita and Autobiography of a Yogi.
Kriyananda shares personal stories about Paramhansa Yogananda's equal and unconditional love for all disciples, cautioning against the misunderstanding that any one person received more grace than another. He addresses the necessity of a true guru, not as a figure of stern authority but as a channel of divine love, recalling his own transformative moment of meeting Yogananda.
The talk closes with the reminder that each soul's ultimate destiny, whatever outer path it travels, is the discovery of its own infinite joy in God.
