You are the master of your life,” says Goswami Kriyananda. “All the bad and difficult things that have come into my life, I realize I have really, really worked very hard to bring them into my life.” The antidote to our own difficult karma is to help others. Bless those who don’t seem to deserve it. Let them know you love them and wish to help them if they wish to be helped. But, says Kriyananda, “Ultimately only you can speak the magic mantra: Aham Brahmasmi. I am the creative principle. My beloved, it is your life. Do not give it to another.”
