Overcoming Karma: The Power of Forgiveness | How to Live Talk With Meditation

From the YouTube description: Most of us are familiar with the concept of “karma.” But do we have a perspective on this essential aspect of the spiritual path that is positive and allows us to make the most progress in our lives and with our various relationships? In this video, Self-Realization Fellowship monk Brother Govindananda conveys wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda on how understanding the purpose of karma can help us to forgive others and grow spiritually. Through the law of karma (cause and effect), the results of our past actions manifest in the situations and people we encounter. But our karma is not meant to limit or discourage us — it is meant to provide the specific lessons we need so we can express the all-conquering divinity within us. Knowing this can make it easier to practice forgiveness — bringing us greater peace of mind and helping us express the soul’s nature of unconditional love. This talk, which includes a period of meditation, was recorded at the SRF temple in Hollywood, California, in September 2024.
