No matter what comes, believe it is the Lord who is sending that to you; and you must succeed in conquering those daily challenges. Therein lies your victory.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
Drawing on Paramahansaji’s inspiring words and his “how-to-live” wisdom on facing the challenges of everyday living, a YSS sannyasi gave a spiritual discourse on “Overcoming Tests and Trials in Life” on Sunday, December 10, 2023.
This talk discussed ways to strengthen our spiritual lives and how we can benefit from developing the right attitude towards our life’s circumstances. These included going to God and Guru with our troubles through prayer, being able to act with reason and will, developing the spiritual quality of evenmindedness in the face of difficult situations, and more — that can be achieved through our efforts at being attuned with our Guru through meditations and by spiritual study.
This talk in Hindi was live-streamed from the Sadhana Sangam at Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Ashram — Noida.
