RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

God is There When You Do Good

Can we be instruments of goodness?

In the view of yogis generally, Creation is an emanation of the Divine Spirit. Creation is furthered every time a person chooses to do good. You are attuning directly with the Lord when you seek to express goodness. Each of us can become an instrument, furthering God’s creation. Cultivate a growing awareness of goodness. Experience the joy which comes from expressing what is wholesome and good.

Sunday Morning Talks

Express Goodness

As you seek to recognize and express goodness, you are tuning in with the Creator. Striving to find and express good in your life leads to discrimination. Discrimination then enables you to reclaim the positive energies of your mind. Attunement with goodness enables access to the buddhi, the higher sense of self which governs the mind. The buddhi bestows the ability to make better choices and thus lessen negative karmas.

As you develop discrimination through attunement with goodness, you become refined enough to experience the Ultimate Goodness. Striving to more fully experience and express goodness is to become a human co-creator — God expressing His creation more fully through you.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
