Kindness Banish forever all harsh or unkind words. Paramhansa Yogananda... Kindness is the light that dissolves all walls between souls, families, and nations. Paramhansa Yogananda Kindness is the recognition that all are truly our own. Affirmations for Self-Healing, Swami Kriyananda Beware of criticism. Clean your mind of all adverse criticism of others. Use a look or a hint to criticize lovingly a recipient soul, but do not force correction or even hold silent criticism. Your own right actions are the best example, but beware of holding a self-righteous attitude. Loving kindness must always be foremost. Paramhansa Yogananda Kindness has no price.

Make Me Clean Again, Divine Mother Dressed in Thy luster, clean and holy, Thou didst send me out to play. I playedbut in darkness, ignorantly; I found myself, therefore, lost in a mire of suffering. I went forth clean, but have come back to Thee all besmirched with the mud of delusion. O Divine Mother, wash me in Thy wisdom: Make me clean again! (From "Whispers from Eternity" by Paramhansa Yogananda)

Meditation isn’t always easy, but life without it is impossibly difficult! Before I started meditating I felt like a rock rolling down a steep, never-ending slope. Lots of experiences, but no sense of direction or purpose. Meditation is a daily reset button, putting quality time into my most important relationships: God, Guru, saints, masters, and my own higher, superconscious Self. It is choosing a life path, rather than just hurtling down the hill hoping for the best!... #dailymeditationpractice #lifepath #resetbutton #meditationiskey #spiritualinspiration See more

When to Continue, When to Give Up Finishing the Race #15

I Want to Pour the Scent of Gratefulness at Thy Feet The doomsday clouds of inevitably tragic events thundered and poured down sheets of suffering on my life. My courage almost drowned in fear, as a million difficulties rose up to destroy me. Only by clinging fast to Thee did I survive. Now, when the cannons of uncertainty boom before me and the shells of calumny, persecution, and fierce opposition fall rainlike around me, I am ever protected in the impregnable fortress of ...Thy love. I am so grateful to Thee! When the light of good fortune dawns again, as it must always, following every hard night of struggles, it is easy to smile welcomingly at the pleasing sunrise of Thy grace. During dark nights of misfortune, however, I find it even sweeter, now, to offer Thee the flowers of my appreciation for being always there, protecting me. I offer all my gratitude at Thy feet of deep, inner communion. Receive me, my Eternal Beloved, in sacred silence. Whispers from Eternity by Paramhansa Yogananda See more

"God-Realization: The Heavenly Treasure of Individuals and Nations", Wisdom of Paramhansa Yogananda The Great Depression of the 1930s humbled many millionaires who were sure of their financial acumen to preserve their mighty fortunes. Even the shrewdest businessmen became bewildered children in the hands of destiny and depression, knowing not which way to turn. The spiritual laws of unselfishness and including the prosperity of others in one’s own prosperity were broken; ...hence, the worldwide collapse of the industrialist economic system. Industrial selfishness was precipitated from dire human greed for gold, leading to unfair suicidal competition and the dumping of prices to destroy the competitor. When the materially minded businessman’s brain is befuddled with greed, his intelligence institutes plans that fail one after the other. This is the price all materialistic God-forgetting egotists are bound to meet sometime or other. By giving artificial monetary value to industrial production, man has created strife between capital and labor, systematically causing recurrent inflations and depressions. Capital and labor, like brain and limbs, should cooperate for the overall welfare of the body and soul of the nation, rather than fighting each other and thereby ensuring their own mutual destruction. Brain and hands both cooperate to maintain the body and share the food in the stomach; so also capital (the brains of society) and the labor (its hands and feet) must cooperate to make life prosperous and to share the bounty they produce. Neither capital nor labor should get special preference, avoiding the pitfalls of both imperialistic and socialistic forms of government. Capital and labor each has its confirmed place and both must do their respective duties in equality. Everybody should be provided food, clothing, shelter, education, and medical care through sharing of the national wealth; or everybody should equally shoulder the burden of poverty if it comes unavoidably through the inclemencies of nature. There should be no inequitable distribution of basic necessities for a progressive material, mental, and spiritual existence; the have-nots against those who have is the root cause of crime, greed, selfishness, and other untold social evils. #paramhansayogananda See more
