31 Days With Yogananda’s Kindness

– One For each Day of the Month –
by Paramhansa Yogananda

(All quotes are from his magazines, earlier than Dec. 1942)

We read in the Autobiography of a Yogi:

“He [Sri Yukteswar] fitted the Vedic definition of a man of God: ‘Softer than the flower, where kindness is concerned; stronger than the thunder, where principles are at stake.’… Everyone found in Master an equal courtesy and kindness. To a man who has realized himself as a soul, not the body or the ego, the rest of humanity assumes a striking similarity of aspect.”

Each day let us practice the strength of kindness and of universal friendship. You may take the following quotes of Yogananda as your inspiration.
