Affirmation
Beloved God,
I know that I am not the body, not the blood, not the energy,
Not the thoughts, not the mind, not the ego, not the astral self.
I am the immortal soul that illumines them all,
Remaining unchangeable in spite of their changes.
Rise Above Bodily Tests
Learn to accept heat, cold, pleasure, pain, with more evenmindedness. The body must be trained to rise above every test it meets. But don’t be rash; develop increasing mind power that gradually brings the body under your command. The cultivation of endurance is not meant to torture, but to remove all torture.
-Paramahansa Yogananda
SRF Magazine Summer 1978 p 53
*The body provides endless opportunities to strengthen the mind against inevitable discomforts. Paramahansaji speaks of earthly life as a series of learning challenges. Life is a school. Wishing you a day of increasing mental power to meet bodily trials with composure. Om Love, Annie
