From Emotion to Enlightenment
from Treasures Along the Path · host Swami Kriyananda
Talk given at Harvard April 15, 1978Swami Kriyananda teaches that inner energy can be transformed through calmness, willpower, meditation, and right living, so that emotions like anger, pain, and even failure become fuel for spiritual growth rather than causes of suffering. He also emphasizes that love, respect, self-control, and thoughtful communication are essential in human relationships, because true happiness comes from expanding sympathy rather than reacting from hurt or ego. Finally, Kriyananda presents diet, posture, concentration, and spiritual practices as practical ways to strengthen one’s energy, protect oneself, and draw closer to divine consciousness.
