The Battle of Life and How to Fight It

Based on Paramhansa Yogananda's Teachings

“To love those that love you is easy. To love those that love you not is not so simple. If you want to change anyone, set a better example. Show more kindness, more understanding, more love. That has a sure effect. To those who are not kind, show kindness. To those who are mean, show bigness of heart.”

Paramhansa Yogananda
