One answer will cover all your questions: Turn to God and fill your consciousness with the realization of His perfection. Let your weakness be dissolved in the worshipful thought of His strength. It is not necessary to explain things to God, for He knoweth your need before you speak, and is more ready to give than you are to ask. When you meditate, turn away from everything except the one absorbing thought of His overshadowing Presence. In this way you will become receptive, and healing will flow through body, mind, and soul.

- Sri Gyanamata

“God Alone: The Life and Letters of a Saint”

“Of all the miracles performed by Jesus, none was equal to that mightiest miracle of the spiritual victory of divine love over evil: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” These words have created in human hearts an everlasting monument to Christ-love…”

~Paramahansa Yogananda, Second Coming of Christ

“As Christ resurrected his consciousness from the sepulcher of mortal limitations, so must you learn to resurrect your mind by meditation from the tomb of material desires and body-confinement to the consciousness of omnipresence. 

Resurrect your calmness from beneath the soil of restlessness; resurrect your wisdom from the enshrouding earthliness of ignorance; resurrect your love from beneath the sod of mundane human attachment − with its limited love for family, society, and country − to divine love for all. 

As Jesus withdrew his mind from the body by ecstasy and united it with all-pervading Spirit, so through the consciousness of Christ developed within yourself by constant meditation unite your soul with omniscient Spirit, your life with Eternal Life. “
