Wise Inspiration By Yogananda!

Dear Friends,



For you this week: stimulating thoughts from Swami Kriyananda's course The Ethics of Yoga for Successful Living, a course which is helping people around the world to find deeper meaning in their work, their relationships, and all of their creative endeavors. We hope that these "wisdom remedies" will bring light into your daily activities this week, and illumination to your soul.



Monday 26
Generosity expands your self-identity. The more expanded your self-identity becomes, the more successful you will be even in material undertakings.

Tuesday 27
One factor essential to inner peace is a clear conscience. Never do what others urge upon you unless your conscience endorses their advice. Seek assurance first of all in your inner Self.

Wednesday 28
True peace comes from victory over one’s lower self. It must be one’s present reality. By straining to reach out to it, people only drive it away.

Thursday 29
It is vitally important that one never take moral shortcuts. Going that route will cost one’s inner peace, self-respect, and happiness.

Friday 30
If a person is willing to harm or to cause harm to come to anyone, he will create in himself a perception that others are equally willing to harm him. Ahimsa, or harmlessness, is essential to the sense of inner security and peace everyone desires.

Saturday 1
One should develop a “straight-spined” determination to live by truth no matter how difficult he finds it to do so.

Sunday 2
To be guided by intuition, calm feeling in the heart is needed. To achieve that feeling, be calmly impersonal, yet kindly disposed. When you achieve that state of mind, intuition will become for you a reliable guide.
