Innumerable karmic forces, more than we can possibly imagine, work behind the historical events unfolding before our eyes. It is easy to feel powerless in the face of these powers and principalities, yet we are not helpless. Kriya Yoga (and all of the world’s time-tested spiritual paths) offers us a metaphorical ark to help us rise above the chaotic waters threatening to overtake us. When we meditate, pray, offer devotion to the gurus, and perform acts of loving service, we literally elevate our vibrations. As we elevate our vibrations, a number of blessings come to us. Collectively, we help to raise the vibrations of planet earth, thus weakening the karmic forces which wreak so much havoc on the world’s stage. Individually, we are better able to receive guidance from the spiritual world to help us navigate life’s storms. Today, renew your commitment to your spiritual life. Stay awake, always. Lean into God and guru. Pray and meditate, and in all circumstances, embody in your thoughts, words, and deeds the all-powerful energy of God’s love.    

Divine Mother,
In your loving mercy,
Grace is greater than karma.
