Swami Yogeshananda is associated with the Ramakrishna Mission. This is a small collection of his quotes.
Suppose you think of it in this way: one vast ocean of Existence , each of us is a wave, every separate thing in the universe is a wave of that Ocean, and the Ocean is conscious. The waves are formed in the ocean, and after a little while sink back into it again. Such is our life. When you study science in school you will learn that everything is made of waves of energy – in us, through us, all around us, though we see only the play of that energy, not the raw energy itself. This is one way we think of God in Vedanta.
