Solving the Mystery of Life is the fourth volume in the bestselling Collected Talks and Essays on Realizing God in Daily Life series featuring Paramahansa Yogananda's talks, lectures, and informal classes. This anthology of nearly 40 talks, given over a period of three decades, offers answers to those seemingly unanswerable questions such as "Why are we here? What is our destiny, and how can we control it? What is God and why did He make this earth? And if God is good, why is there evil in this world? How can we experience greater joy and security?" Readers looking for answers to the myriad outer and inner challenges of life will find these talks alive with the unique blend of all-embracing wisdom, encouragement, and love for humanity that have made Paramahansa Yogananda one of our era's most trusted guides to the spiritual life. As one who solved the mystery of life himself, Yogananda lays out the divine laws at work in the universe, reminding the reader that we are immortal beings with infinite potential to realize and express beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit.
