Happiness is like a plant: It must be watered daily with giving thoughts and actions.
Goswami KriyanandaThe secret of friendship is expressing kindness with your eyes and through the tone of your voice, not only with words.
Goswami KriyanandaHappiness is NOW! It isn't tomorrow. It isn't yesterday. Happiness is like a morning glory: Yesterday's won't bloom again; tomorrow's hasn't opened yet. Only today's flower can be enjoyed today. Be happy this very moment, and you'll learn how to be happy always.
Goswami KriyanandaSelf-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.
Goswami KriyanandaBe thou a true yogi. A yogi who understands that everything he's looking for is really inside himself. Learn to live more in the Self.
Goswami KriyanandaWhen I find that I am more conscious, it's because I'm in tune with a higher reality. When I'm less conscious, it's because I've cut off that entunement to some extent. Maybe through drinking, through anger, through whatever. And I realized then that God has to be an infinite consciousness, and that I had to be an expression of that consciousness. And that the goal of life then must be to become more and more in tune with that consciousness. And I decided to give my life to God. And around that time, to make a long story short, I found Autobiography of a Yogi.
