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.

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.

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.

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.
