More Encouragement

More Encouragement……..

”The greatest ‘sin’ is to call yourself a sinner.” Instead, if you don’t want to blame God (which Yogananda insisted, however, is perfectly fine with God!), tell yourself, “Maya (cosmic delusion) committed this deed through me. I dissociate myself from everything connected with it. In my true Self, I am untainted and ever free!”

“Of course, you must then act in a such a way as to not commit that error again!”

Every time you slip, instead of moaning, “I’ve failed! I’m a fallen soul!” tell yourself, “I haven’t yet succeeded!” If you do that, your words, instead of affirming negativity, will be an affirmation of eventual success.

“The best time for sowing the seeds of success,” Paramhansa Yogananda used to say, “is the season of failure!”
