How to Be a Friend to All

Self-Realization Fellowship sannyasi Swami Sevananda Giri shares wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how to manifest spiritual friendship in our daily lives. In this talk with a period of meditation, recorded at the SRF Glendale Temple in March 2023, Swami Sevananda explains that true friendship is the basis for all relationships — and what beautifies and gives deepest meaning to those relationships. He points out that when we step outside of ourselves and think lovingly and unselfishly of others we have, as Paramahansaji says, “momentarily stepped into Christ Consciousness [Kutastha Chaitanya]” — the infinite awareness of the Divine permeating all creation.
