“Walking the Spiritual Path, Part I,”
by Goswami Kriyananda
|
|
|
Introduced by Swami Abhinanda
In Goswami Kriyananda’s Noon Meditation, “Walking the Spiritual Path, Part I,” he notes that human beings are good, and that all of our good karma manifests through people. During this time of division, animosity and cynicism, it can be easy to lose sight of the goodness of our fellow human beings. Walking the spiritual path invites us to cultivate compassion and unselfish love for even those we see as our enemies. In this introduction to the Noon Meditation, we will explore the wisdom of living a life of compassion and unselfish love, and the strength and intentionality that is necessary to do so.

"Reinvigorating and Reenergizing in the Face of Tiredness and Exhaustion"
|
|
One of the greatest dangers on the Spiritual Path is fatigue and exhaustion. The experience of feeling tired and discouraged can undermine our practice and, in some instances, lead us to leave the Spiritual Path. In this introduction to Goswami Kriyananda’s Noon Meditation on “Dharma,” we will discuss several ways of working with the tiredness and exhaustion that can appear at any time during a life of walking the path. Particularly, at this time of global pandemic, exhaustion and fatigue may be especially acute, and this lecture will explore ways of reenergizing and reinvigorating ourselves when we feel discouraged and exhausted. |

“All Of Your Life Is Sacred”
|
Goswami Kriyananda’s Noon Meditation this week is entitled “How To Improve Your Earth Life.” One of the messages in this meditation is that “All of Life is Sacred.” This has been the message of mystics down through the ages. We are inclined to categorize our experiences, for example, as good/bad, meaningful/meaningless, spiritual/mundane, but our journey on the spiritual path is to see all of life as sacred. In this brief introduction to Goswami Kriyananda’s Noon meditation, we will consider our inclination to judge our experiences and how this tendency can undermine our capacity to experience the sacredness of each moment of this life.

“You Are Your Own Creative Potential”
Introduction to Goswami Kriyananda's Video by Swami Abhinanda
|
|
|
Goswami Kriyananda’s Noon Meditation this week is entitled “Let Us Define Karma.” In this introduction to the meditation, we will underscore our capacity to shape our lives by our attitudes and expectations. It is easy to be swept up in the current of life, especially when the circumstances are as powerful as those with which we are currently living; a global health pandemic, economic insecurity, and social tensions. An antidote to feeling helpless in the face of life circumstances is to recognize that our ultimate influence is always internal, and it has to do with attitude and acceptance. We will explore the ways in which our meditation practice and spiritual path can empower us to respond to life with love, rather than with fear.
