I've've seen some people like this that no matter what happens they've got something cheerful to feel about it. It's not always easy, but if we do it as a deliberate sward of battle rather then thinking 'Well, I'm not really feeling that way and therefore I shouldn't say that I am'. No! Make yourself that way!
Goswami KriyanandaLearn to live more in the Self. Come down a little bit to eat and talk as necessary.
Goswami KriyanandaYour enemy is still yourself. You don't have enemies. They may be self-styled. I have plenty of self-styled enemies. I don't wish them harm.
Goswami KriyanandaEven-minded and cheerful. When things go bad, you'll find that the same kind of attitude comes to you naturally.
Goswami KriyanandaHappiness is a question of attitude, not a question of what's happening out there.
Goswami KriyanandaIt's a mistake to think that God has conflict with anything. He's everything. So the more close you are to God, how can you be in conflict with anybody? Conflict comes from ego, and from thinking, "I'm right and you're wrong." If I can reach the point where I understand that what is right for me may be different than what is right for you, that would be a good step. But most people don't reach that point, and so they fight about it.
