Take whatever cause for outward happiness you might have and take it within yourself, so that, if the sun should go out, you will not be any less happy; if the birds stop singing you will not be any less happy.
Goswami KriyanandaSociety cannot but depend to a disproportionate degree on its capable few to develop and flourish.
Goswami KriyanandaEven-minded and cheerful. When things go bad, you'll find that the same kind of attitude comes to you naturally.
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.
