Many people condemn themselves to suffering when they lose a loved one. They feel guilty about trying to be happy. But that isn’t good for themselves, their loved ones, or civilization. “Life is about being happy” says Goswami Kriyananda. “It’s for me to move every day from love to greater love. From happiness to greater happiness. For some of us, it’s a movement from darkness to light, from death to life, from pain to joy. And this can be done if you so choose, but you must choose. And only you can choose.”
