He who is persistent will realize God. So try your best to make meditation a regular experience in your life.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
You are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! control the present! Live supremely well now! This is the way of the wise.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Feel the love of God then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love.
Paramahansa Yogananda

As I radiate love and goodwill to others, I will open the channel for God's love to come to me.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
The Divine has loved me as mother, as father, and as friend, behind all friends. I searched for that one Friend behind all friends, that one lover whom I now see glimmering in all your faces. And that friend never fails me.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.
Paramahansa Yogananda

He who has realized oneness with God possesses all knowledge contained in Him. Knowing the Lord as Beginning and End of all beings and worlds, a true Brahmin has knowledge of the hereafter and of the workings of nature on this plane of existence.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
One may have many teachers, but only one guru, who remains as one's guru even in many different lives, until the disciple reaches the final goal of emancipation in God. You must remember this, once that relationship is formed.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Through every trial we grow. All suffering we experience has a meaning. Though it seems very cruel, it is like the fire that smelts the iron ore: the steel that emerges from that furnace is beautifully strong, useful for many purposes.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
It is foolish to be afraid of death. Just think. No more repaired tires on the body vehicle, no more patchwork living.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Humans become angels on earth, not in heaven.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Faithfulness in the performance of small duties gives us strength to adhere to difficult determinations that life will someday force us to make.

Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world

God is simple, everything else is complex
Paramahansa Yogananda

An artist doesn't really create anything - he just rearranges what is already there.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Those who look at the surface of the sea must behold the birth and death of the waves, but those who seek the depths of the ocean behold one indivisible mass of water. Similarly, those who acknowledge life and death are tossed by sorrow, while those who live in the illimitable superconsciousness behold and feel the One Ineffable Bliss.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
I am no longer the wave of consciousness thinking itself separated from the sea of cosmic consciousness. I am the ocean of Spirit that has become the wave of human life.
