Teachings of Paramahamsa Yogananda

Strength in Times of Adversity

Suffering is a good teacher to those who are

quick and willing to learn from it.

But it becomes a tyrant to those who resist and resent.

Suffering can teach us almost everything.

Its lessons urge us to develop discrimination, self-control,

non attachment, morality, and transcendent spiritual consciousness.

For example, a stomachache tells us not to eat too much and to

watch what we eat.

The pain from loss of possessions or loved ones reminds us of the

temporal nature of all things in this world of delusion.

The consequences of wrong actions impel us to exercise discrimination.

Why not learn through wisdom?

Then you won't subject yourself to unnecessary painful discipline from

the hard taskmaster of suffering.

Quote of Brian Weiss,

"The number of days and years one lives on Earth is insignificant.

It’s the quality of those days and years that’s important,

quality measured in loving acts and achieved wisdom. ‘

Some people do more good in one day than others do in a hundred years.’

This is their message.

‘Every soul, every person is precious.

Every person helped, every life aided or saved, is immeasurably valuable"
