As I radiate love and goodwill to others, I will open the channel for God's love to come to me.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Success is hastened or delayed by one’s habits. It is not your passing inspirations or brilliant ideas so much as your everyday mental habits that control your life.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
You have come to earth to entertain and to be entertained.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Ever-new Joy is God. He is inexhaustible as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging Him for any other happiness He is seductive beyond thought of competition.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
The way to freedom is through service to others. The way to happiness is through meditation and being in tune with God... break the barriers of your ego, shed selfishness, free yourself from the consciousness of the body, forget yourself, do away with this prison house of incarnations, melt your heart in all, be one with creation.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Be careful what you choose to do consciously, for unless your will is very strong, that is what you may have to do repeatedly and compulsively through the habit-influencing power of the subconscious mind.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Stillness is the altar of spirit.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
If God calls me tomorrow I will go without a moment's turning back.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Carrying a thought with dynamic will power means holding it until that thought pattern develops dynamic force. When a thought is made dynamic by will force, it can manifest according to the mental blueprint you have created.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Whenever you want to produce something, do not depend upon the outside source: go deep and seek the Infinite Source.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Behold thine immortal Self resurrected with Christ in the light of illumination, present in every soul, every flower, every atom!
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
The universal law of karma ... is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. In the course of natural righteousness, man, by his thoughts and actions, becomes the arbiter of his destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.
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.

Environment is stronger than will.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
One cannot tell when he is going to be healed, so do not try to set an exact time limit. Faith, not time, will determine when the cure will be effected.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
As water by cooling and condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form. Everything in the universe is thought in material form.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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.
