One of the most useful truths taught by Paramhansa Yogananda is: “The greater the will, the greater the flow of energy.” By pouring our energy into everything we do, we draw even more energy to accomplish it. Over time we discover that this increased energy flow comes from a higher source and enables us to succeed at whatever we’re doing.

Swami Kriyananda exemplified boundless energy, reminding us that on our spiritual journey, we’re either progressing or regressing—there’s no staying still. He encouraged embracing hard work as a joyful experience and a privilege, seeing it as a path to victory. Personally, both Jyotish and I have found that the more we commit ourselves to serving and giving our best, the greater the flow of energy we experience, bringing along a sense of freedom and joy. Swamiji reassured us that it's important to take things step by step, reminding us that our efforts are not just for the sake of completion, but for building the strength to achieve even more.
