Basis of Spiritual Practice Part 1
Air date: 1/4/26
Spiritual practice is about finding joy, says Goswami Kriyananda. “You are by nature bliss-filled,” he states. But to find your bliss, you first need to quiet your mind, which is confused and turbulent. Once you quiet the mind, you can seek out the bliss. “It’s like a gold mine,” says Kriyananda. “You have to dig for it and attune to it by means of meditation, hatha yoga, and self-discipline. All of these are to quiet the essence, to quiet the mind, so that we can see and utilize our wisdom.”
