QUOTE OF THE DAY

PurificationAugust 15

…You cannot make steel until you have made the iron white-hot in fire. It is not meant for harm. Trouble and disease have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to destroy us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home. No one is more anxious for our release than God.

– Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
