Here is something that gives a lot of hope !
The purity and love of Yogananda is visible here
Thy divine light is hidden in even the most vicious and gloom-
shrouded man, waiting to shine forth under the proper
conditions: the keeping of good company, and ardent desires
for self-betterment. We thank Thee that no sin is unforgivable,
no evil insuperable; for the world of relativity does not contain
absolutes.
Direct me, O Heavenly Father, that I awaken Thy
bewildered ones to the consciousness of their native purity,
immortality, and celestial sonhood.
Paramhansa Yogananda
