If we have decided to venture into the field of the spiritual we will necessarily have to go through the reading of many old books among which the themes and concepts of Eastern religions, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. can not be missing.
There are many people from those eastern lands with great wisdom; it is important to collect the best of their messages, their experiences, because they have reached a level of knowledge as high as inexplicable, but they were the key to change their lives, lives that have been dedicated to share their spiritual riches with others who they need.
For example, nevertheless in those lands there is still a lot of poverty and inequality, India is a country that has a culture of great spiritual wealth, many wise men like the Paramahansa Yogananda in works like "The Bhagavad-Guita" have been able to contribute with a legacy invaluable full of messages of kindness and solidarity.
Of course, if we want to correctly swallow those concepts of Eastern religions, we must search and select the appropriate texts, and then translate them and adapt them to our inevitably western scheme. And it does not matter much if we do not fully memorize the different names that are given to the deities in these religions, the important thing is to capture the message of what it means to know oneself through meditation and contemplation, as well as to become aware of the beauty and nobility of our soul and in general all that can provide us with a new spiritual focus.
Thus, the spiritual messages of the Eastern religions each with their particularities, show us a common side: the search for our raison d'etre and the approach to God through inner knowledge. As stated in his texts by Paramahansa Yogananda himself entering the spiritual field we will find that light that will illuminate with love our own life and that of others.
