Developing Positivity – an important aspect of the Spiritual Path

♣♣

Of the Kundalini force (the energy that is locked at the base of the spine), Paramhansa Yogananda said one day, “When one thinks good thoughts, the Kundalini automatically starts moving upward. When one thinks evil thoughts, it moves downward. When one hates others, or has wrong thoughts about them, it moves down. And when one loves others, or thinks kindly about them, it moves up.

“Kundalini is not awakened by yoga techniques alone.”

“Whenever you see wrong in others, and are distressed by it, remember, it’s wrong with you. When you are right inwardly, all things are right, for you see everything as part of God. You then accept all things as they are, without judgment, and look with kindness and sympathy on everyone, no matter how foolish.”

“You can’t love God and at the same time be unkind to your associates. You can’t love Him and be full of wrath. How you behave toward others both reflects your inner consciousness and conditions it.”

“Never imagine that you can win God’s love if you can’t win the love of your fellow creatures. As you love Him, so should you love Him in all.”
