Summary: Inspiring victories without and within . . .
Comment: When the Yogananda brought the message of yoga to his students in the West he emphasized BALANCE, and the essays collected in ''To Be Victorious in Life'' are prime examples. Always acknowledging the central role of attuning our consciousness to the Divine Will, Yogananda still insists that readers attend to the practicalities of life in the modern West. If you read his Autobiography of a Yogi, you will see how successfully he employed this balance, establishing an America-wide and then a world-wide organization for dissemination of yoga-based principles of meditation, following the instruction of Christ to render appropriately unto Caesar and unto God. In the talks transcribed for the chapters of this pocketbook, Yogananda speaks both from his spiritual wisdom and from his experience in translating spiritual principle into action within the world.
The importance of meditation and of practicing attunement with The Divine during wordly activity are given central importance throughout the yoga master's talks, but so are the application of will, discrimination, and self-discipline. Yogananda thus also shows balance in encouraging us to listen to conscience while showing compassion for our weaknesses as we (works in progress that we are) build our spiritual muscles. He discourages focusing on mistakes but instead emphasizes keeping the mind on The Goal and on studying the lives of those we would be proud to emulate. We are ever urged just to do the best we can - and Yogananda's words have an amazing ability to build our faith in the goodness of ourselves and to foster a desire to bring out that goodness.
Always he wants to root out the mistakes - not to disparage the mistake-maker. His encouragement here might best be summarized by his words elsewhere: ''God does not mind your mistakes - but your indifference!''

Summary: true success
Comment: Excerpted from talks given in 1939, this may be a small book, but it's packed with thoughts on how to live life at its fullest.
A superb writer, Paramahansa Yogananda gets right to the heart of his subject without mincing words.
Part I, "Expanding Your Consciousness for All-Round Success", explains the power within, and how to tap into it. He covers many areas, including finances (here's a good one: married women should have an independent bank account and "nest egg"), the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious minds, the practical application of intuition, and more.
Part II, "How to Find a Way to Victory", covers how to analyze yourself honestly, "The Conquest of Self" ("to be stricken with weakness is not a sin, but the minute you give up the effort to overcome it, you are lost"), harmonizing worldly duties and your search for God, and so much more.
These pocket and purse sized "How to Live" books are terrific. Also highly recommended is # 2 in the series, "Why God Permits Evil, and How to Rise Above It".
