Yogananda: God is not mute and unfeeling
God is not a mute unfeeling Being. He is love itself. If you know how to meditate to make contact with Him, He will respond to your loving demands. You do not have to plead; you can demand as His child. But which of you will spend the necessary time?
Which of you will persist until you become so concentrated that you receive an answer from Him?
