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.
Fri Sep 18
Sept. 21. Challenges were sent to stimulate you, and help you in your spiritual growth. Twice, when I was a child, bullies much stronger than I attacked me and gave me a thorough beating. Both times I won against them in a sense by never mentally admitting defeat. From then on they gave me a wide berth. Never surrender mentally to anyone. People before whom you maintain your own integrity may go so far as to call you a traitor. Let them say what they will: you remain strong in yourself. If your will can be preserved unbroken, you will always, in the end, come out on top. Swami Kriyananda writing as J Donald Walters in hs new, soon to be published book “Do It Well”
