Dear Friends,

In his beautiful song, Life is a Dream, Swami Kriyananda reminds us that our true self is hidden behind veils.  There are times when that truth is easier to see than others.  There are things we can do to better connect with that truth.

Read Swamiji’s words below in this eNotes.  If you first quiet your mind and still your heart, your consciousness will rise, just from reading Swami’s words.

In that higher state, take a different view of the challenges you are facing.  Take a different view of the challenges we are all facing.  Put some distance between yourself and those challenges.  

Then listen to this video from the Joy Singers.  You may now be able to stop even considering those challenges, and just enjoy that better feeling in your heart.   

“Sometimes a friend
Helps us ascend
Up from life’s cares to the sky.”


Our truth lies elsewhere.  Don’t let the drama around us dictate how you live your life.

May your Christmas season be blessed,
Nityananda
