Yoga and Daily Life: commentaries for a ‘thought for the day’ – interspersed with music by Kriyananda.

Sample thought for the day:

Make everyone feel that they are special in your eyes – not in any particular way, necessarily, but above all, because every human being is your brother or sister in God!

This is a nice recording to listen to in the car.

These passages were first published in a book: Do It Now. Later published as the book Do it Well.

Suffering brings wisdom and leads us toward higher reality.

The ultimate cure for suffering is God.

If you look at suffering abstractly, you can say there is no suffering. The only reality is God, and God is joy, not suffering. When joy diminishes, it can appear that you are suffering.

Evil is that which pulls us away from our central joy.

God created everything from thought. The underlying reality of energy is thought, and the underlying reality of thought is divine consciousness or God.

Good and evil are dreams of the Infinite.

To love people is to love them with their motives. To love God is to love without motive. To love God within people is to love without motive. And when we have no motive at all, the ego is out of the picture.

What Next for Mankind – mankind has taken a turn in the wrong direction by looking for happiness and stability in outward things

As long as we look for solutions outside ourSelves, we will suffer.

People all over the world are facing economic challenges as well as the growing potential of war.

The consequence of taking what you want from other people without regard of giving back, is that you get a feeling of tension, something doesn’t feel right, yet people continue to act in this way. The result is unrest within and without.

The solutions lie within each individual to get back in touch with the things that are really important.

The leading mission of every soul is to find oneness with God and know that “we are a part of all that is.” God is in all things and in all people.
