Residency at hermitage in California from "summary" of Autobiography of a Yogi (Hungarian) by Paramahansa Yogananda
In the beautiful state of California, nestled amidst the serene surroundings of nature, lies a hermitage where I found residency during a profound period of my spiritual journey. This secluded abode provided the perfect environment for deep introspection, meditation, and communion with the divine. The hermitage was a place of solitude and contemplation, far removed from the distractions of the outside world. Surrounded by majestic trees, fragrant flowers, and the soothing sounds of nature, I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that nourished my soul. Life at the hermitage was simple yet profound. Each day was filled with meditation, prayer, and self-reflection. I immersed myself in the teachings of the ancient scriptures, seeking to deepen my understanding of the mysteries of existence and the nature of reality. As I delved deeper into my spiritual practice, I began to experience moments of profound clarity and insight. The veil of illusion that had clouded my mind for so long began to lift, revealing glimpses of the eternal truth that lies beyond the physical realm. In the stillness of the hermitage, I felt a deep connection to the divine presence that permeates all of creation. I realized that true happiness and fulfillment can only be found within, through a direct experience of the divine essence that dwells within each and every one of us. My time at the hermitage was a transformative experience that left an indelible mark on my soul. It was a time of growth, of self-discovery, and of profound spiritual awakening. And as I emerged from this sacred sanctuary, I carried with me a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of the true nature of reality.
