One Minute Challenges

Dharmadas quotes from a wonderful song by Swami Kriyananda called "The Non-Blues:"
Now it ain’t that Ah don’t know what grief is;
This ole heart has had its full share.
But grief’s one thing, and’ complainin’ another:
Why multiply grief with despair?
Grief may come whether we like it or not. But we have a choice whether we complain in life. The challenge is spend a minute to identify things we typically complain about and try to eliminate that reaction for a day--because we can and we'll be so much happier if we do!

As a "One-Minute Challenge" Dharmadas suggests we consider this basic question--a quick analysis that can lead to deeper levels of realization. He goes on to share various principles of Yogananda's and Kriyananda's teachings around the question: What creates real happiness? How does happiness differ from pleasure or true joy?

This is a common enough question—for those who have children. But all of us potentially have a relationship with God—and—like any human parent—we are the only ones who can nurture and develop that relationship. No one else can do it for us in the same way. What if that relationship was our “child?” Could we learn to look at it with the same intensity and devotion that we would give to a newborn child? This is a “one-minute challenge” for a lifetime!

A basic metric around success in our lives revolves around the simple question: What is the purpose of my life? Of course, "simple" does not necessarily mean "easy to answer!" This is not just a rhetorical question--we are truly the only ones who can answer the it. And ultimately it does have an answer.
If we can answer that question quickly (in a minute for example!), we can more easily keep an eye on our progress staying true to that purpose.

Dharmadas challenges viewers to use one minute—which is offered during this video—to contemplate and be grateful for the most important minutes in our lives--which are often (and perhaps counter-intuitively!) relatively few in number. This video can serve as an introduction to a another called: "The Minutes Are More Important than the Years"--a quotation of Yogananda.
