In this talk, Swami goes right to the heart of our teachings: how to love God more. He reminds us that God doesn't care what we know, but how much we love.

Some of the things Swami discusses in this talk are: how we can prepare ourselves to be open and attuned to God's guidance; the ways in which guidance comes to us; how to discern the difference between true guidance and personal projection; and, what to do when guidance doesn't come to us.

Swami Kriyananda states here that the basis of spiritual laziness lies in the fact that we have all evolved from states of relative unconsciousness. The Indian Scriptures say that God sleeps in the minerals, dreams in the plants, and begins to stir in the animals.

Swami tells us that it's difficult to change bad habits using only thought and reason because our minds are influenced by desires and attachments. When we reach a superconscious state, however, we can change a deep-seated habit in one meditation!

In this talk, Swami reminds us not to limit our love to just one person or family, but to expand it to include everyone and to see everyone as our own. He also relates that life's experiences, especially the painful ones, help us to release our egoic pride and drop the sheathes surrounding our heart, allowing it to be softened. Once softened, the heart's natural love can flow freely through us, and we are able to love with God's love.

Sri Yukteswar said you can't take one step on the spiritual path until you've awakened the natural love of the heart. Swami Kriyananda gives us insights and examples on how to remove the layers we have built up around our hearts, helping us to unfold our heart's natural love.

In this talk, Swami tells us how outward development and action can be an aide to our spiritual progress. He discusses the qualities of non-attachment, centeredness, service, patience, and magnetism, and helps us to understand their importance from both inner and outer perspectives.

In this recording, Swami speaks deeply about this very important subject.Treasures Along the Path produces a different talk by Swami Kriyananda every month. For more information about Treasures Along the Path, please visit www.treasuresalongthepath.org.

Swami states that relationships represent our soul's desire to expand, to unite with others, and to ultimately merge with infinity. They provide an excellent opportunity for growth by helping us to see our own faults, rid ourselves of false expectations, and learn unconditional acceptance and love. Swami also tells us to allow healthy space in our relationships, how to discuss difficult issues at appropriate times, and to give others the right to learn from their own mistakes.

Swami reminds us here that when we face the battles of life, we are called upon to concentrate our forces and put out the energy to overcome the obstacle (or karma) in front of us. The more battles we fight, the stronger we grow spiritually, and the closer we come to winning our ultimate freedom in God. He also advises us not to dilute our energy by worrying about the outcome of our efforts. If we put all our energy into what we're doing at present, our concentration will be better, and so will the results.
