Be good
A spiritual discourse on the foundational principle of goodness.
"Every day, when you get up in the morning, tell yourself, 'I would like to be good.' To every creature—ant or elephant, flowers or mountains or rivers—be good."
"'Be good' also means being honest. Many things, everything is concentrated in that one word."
The speaker delivers a concise teaching, instructing listeners to begin each day with the intention to "be good" toward all beings and aspects of creation. He explains that this simple practice awakens inner qualities and leads to realization, framing yoga as the comprehensive science leading to God. He concludes with a blessing for health, harmony, and happiness.
