More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Success is hastened or delayed by one's habits.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Sing songs that none have sung, think thoughts that ne'er in the brain have rung, Walk in paths that none have trod, weep tears as none have shed for God, Give peace to all to whom none other gave, Claim him your own who's everywhere disclaimed. Love all with love that none have felt and Brave the battle of life with strength unchained.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Truths are more than imagination they are real. Yet their origin is a thought in the mind of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
You must not let your life run in the ordinary way do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God's creative principle works in you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Subtle astral colors... are hidden in everything around you. Could you but see, you would be amazed at their beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Spirit vibrated into matter hence, both Spirit and matter exist. Matter, however, does not exist in the way that it appears to us. It exists as we see it owing to the delusive force of maya, which makes the indivisible Spirit seem finite and divisible to all appearances. Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Fear was given to man as a cautionary device to spare him pain it is not mean to be cultivated and abused.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Before embarking on important undertakings sit quietly calm your senses and thoughts and meditate deeply. You will then be guided by the great creative power of Spirit.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
Paramahansa Yogananda
Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world
Paramahansa Yogananda
Have the unflinching determination to move on your path unhampered by limiting thoughts of past errors.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
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
Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony. Never get angry, for anger poisons your system.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.
