“If anything disturbs your peace, practice having faith that divine grace is already actively at work restoring wholeness and well-being.
Then make any necessary adjustments in harmony with that insight.”

Living In The Highest Way
Paula Whang-Ramos
"Our likes and dislikes color our perceptions, and if we are not aware of them,
they obscure our ability to be open to possibility. Stay open to yet unknown good."
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, CSE Daily Inspiration 09/30/2025
As we complete our study of Chapter One of the Bhagavad Gita, the main character, Arjuna, is completely overcome with frustration, fear, and stress at his current life circumstances. His emotional reactions totally cloud his ability to realize the inner divine power, presence, and wisdom available within himself, as symbolized by Krishna, the other main character. In the Gita, Arjuna represents us, sincere seekers trying to live in the highest way as we navigate the circumstances of daily life.
In this tradition of Kriya Yoga, we learn to live from the wholeness of our spiritual integrity (i.e., Krishna consciousness) by first learning to quiet the distracted, reactive mind. We use specific time-tested practices to expand our awareness and redirect our attention into the indwelling divine power, presence, and wisdom that is always available within us. And we learn how to live from this higher consciousness, deeper clarity, and unapologetic inner peace. How do we open into and live from this innate higher good within us all? Join us for meditation and weekly Gita study this Tuesday. Meet Krishna, our innate divine wisdom, and experience this expanded awareness for yourself.
Blue Lotus Kriya Yoga Meditation Center welcomes sincere seekers from all backgrounds. Beginning and experienced meditators from all traditions are welcome at all gatherings.
