Inspiration from Kriyananda

The larger the wave

“The larger an ocean wave, the more it obscures – for a person riding it – the ocean's underlying calmness. The larger the wave, moreover, the deeper its offsetting trough. The more people distance themselves from their soul-center within by seeking fulfillment in outer excitement and sense-stimulation, the more their emotional highs are followed, necessarily, by emotional lows of sorrow and depression. The greater a victory, the greater also, sooner or later, the defeat. The greater the fame, the greater the opposition from others. The greater the success, the greater – perhaps in some other area of life – the degree of failure. ”
