| Paramahansa Yogananda on "Forgiveness" |
Go on doing good no matter how much you get slapped by others. There are thousands who will appreciate your efforts, and a few who won't. When they crucify you with unkindness, that is the time to say, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Continue to do good to please God, including efforts at resolving the misunderstanding. Don't be a doormat or cooperate with evil, but in your heart separate them − their souls − from their misguided actions, and give them love sincerely. Thereby you will attain self-mastery − a peace within yourself that cannot be destroyed by the actions of others.Affirmation
"Today I forgive all those who have ever offended me. I give my love to all thirsty hearts, both to those who love me and those who do not love me."Read moreRead more

SRF "How-to-Live" Summer Youth Program 2013
| |
 In June and July 2013, Self-Realization Fellowship's "How-to-Live" Youth Programs for boys and girls were held at Camp Arbolado in California's San Bernardino mountains. The weeklong programs (held separately for boys and for girls) were attended by children and teens between the ages of 10 to 16, and were conducted by SRF monastics and trained lay disciples.  As with SRF's other program's for children and teens, the strength of these Youth Programs lies in their foundation upon Paramahansa Yogananda's spiritual ideals of all-round development of body, mind, and soul.

As God is constantly forgiving us, even knowing all our [wrong] thoughts, so those who are fully in tune with Him naturally have that same love.
