Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Muktananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how seeking to understand others while working to improve ourselves can bring greater harmony to our relationships and help us grow spiritually.
By recognizing the good in others, practicing honest introspection, and choosing kindness over criticism, we can develop greater intuition and happiness — becoming more aware of the Divine Presence in every soul.
This talk with a period of meditation was given at the SRF temple in Phoenix, Arizona, in April 2026.
