SCATTERING SMILES, AWAKENING SOULS

“Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”  Paramahansa Yogananda

When Yogananda was about to leave for America, Swami Sri Yukteswar blessed him: “All those who come to you with faith, seeking God, will be helped. As you look at them, the spiritual current emanating from your eyes will enter into their brains and change their material habits, making them more God-conscious.” If you have ever observed Yogananda’s eyes in photos, you will understand how profound this blessing is. I have stood in front of his portrait and been mesmerized by the unconditional love flowing from his gaze. I have pictures that a friend took of me standing before his portrait and you can see my energy field shifting and changing, expanding out from my physical body. I have felt a connection with this master teacher since I first heard of him. There are those who walk among us on this earth planet who radiate at such a high vibration that you cannot help but be changed by being in their presence. The statement from Yogananda regarding smiles is one of my favorite quotes. There is a sacred beauty in the simple act of smiling — not just with the lips, but with the soul. A smile born from deep within, radiating from the heart and shining through the eyes, has the power to melt pain, awaken hope, and illuminate even the darkest corners of sorrow. When our inner light finds expression through kindness and love, we become living beacons of peace. We become instruments of God. In this world, where hearts are often heavy and the soul’s song is drowned out by the noise of fear and suffering, one smile — one genuine, soul-filled smile — can open the door to healing. When we let our divine essence express itself freely, we become vessels through which grace flows. Every smile we share is a silent blessing, an energetic hug, a ripple of comfort whispered directly to a weary heart.

Dear Angels, how do we reach that place within us, that radiant well of unconditional love? How do we awaken the smile of the soul?

Dear Ones, this is where your master teachers come in. These are the ones — sometimes seen, sometimes unseen — who carry the vibration of divine wisdom. They walk gently among you, often unnoticed by the busy world, but their presence shifts everything. They are the awakened ones who remember who they truly are and whose purpose is to help others remember as well. Master teachers may be spiritual leaders, sages, or even the humble stranger who offers a profound truth in passing. They teach by example how to deepen your connection with the Divine, how to quiet the ego and hear the voice of God within. They remind you that divinity is not a distant force but the very essence of your being. Their smiles carry ancient wisdom. Their words echo with the truth of eternity. And their love — pure and unconditional — calls forth the same within you. When you sit in their energy, you begin to recognize your own soul’s longing to express love without boundaries. You begin to see through the lens of compassion, and your hearts open wider. Through their guidance, your eyes begin to reflect not just your personality, but your divine origin. The beauty of this is that you don’t have to wait for a grand awakening to begin. You can start where you are, by letting the soul smile a little more each day. Smile at yourself with forgiveness. Smile at a stranger with warmth. Smile into the world with gratitude, even when your heart is breaking. That is when the light pours through most powerfully. Let your smile become your ministry. Let your presence become a prayer. And remember: when you scatter these rich smiles into sad hearts, you are doing the sacred work of God. You are becoming the master teacher for someone else, a lighthouse in their storm.

Angels Whisper: you are the smile of the heavens on Earth. Each time your eyes meet another’s with compassion, you bring a piece of Heaven to Earth. Your soul knows the way — just follow the light within and let it shine without hesitation. We walk with you, smiling beside you as you awaken the world.

Today, I promise to smile, to love, to spread joy and compassion wherever I am.
