The journey of hard work can sometimes make it tough to let go and unwind. In a world that prizes effort, it’s easy to forget how vital it is to find joy and relaxation in our lives. Swami Kriyananda’s advice highlights that excessive effort, particularly in our spiritual practices, can hinder our progress. Instead, embracing a natural approach and allowing ourselves to relax can lead to deeper connections with our inner joy. Whether it's taking a vacation or simply enjoying a good movie, the key is to weave enjoyable activities into our daily lives. So, let’s remember to take time to relax and engage in things that uplift us, always aiming to reconnect with the joy within.
