Words of Yogananda and Kriyananda

This mini-blog is just to record short quotes of Yogananda and Kriyananda in a less formal manner than the ananda.org web site or even the blog A Place Called Ananda. For more in depth information click on one of these links I just mentioned.

Look for qualities to appreciate in others. What you see in them is a reflection of what you are in yourself. The more you appreciate others, the more they will return that feeling—like the strings of a musical instrument, which vibrate in sympathy with kindred notes elsewhere. But if you see qualities in others that you dislike, your negative reaction will be a sign that you have the same unattractive qualities in yourself. Use your negative opinions of others, in this case, as goads to self-transformation. - January 17 From Swami Kriyananda’s book - Living Wisely, Living Well
