If We’re Listening, We Can Hear God’s Whispering Guidance Always (With Swami Kriyananda)

In this uplifting talk, Swami Kriyananda urges us to listen carefully and attentively not only to God’s still voice but to feel his infinite presence as well in all we do. Essentially, we will be watching and listening for our own higher guidance as God is all there truly is.  Kriyananda shares a few personal stories and speaks about the interconnectivity of all beings and their distinct individuality as well. Kriyananda explains that God uses and needs many channels for his expressions and speaks differently through each one. He also humorously reminds us that the more we try and please God, the more he will test us. These tests can actually be a good sign because as Kriyananda says, “it's a sign that you love him when he does take the trouble to help you clear up all your karma quickly.”
