If you have a strong mind and plant in it a firm resolve, you can change your destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is better to meditate a little bit with depth than to mediate long with the mind running here and there. If you do not make an effort to control the mind it will go on doing as it pleases, no matter how long you sit to meditate.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Just behind the darkness of closed eyes shines the light of God. When you behold that light in meditation, hold onto it with devotional zeal. Feel yourself inside it: That is where God dwells.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Consider no one a stranger. Learn to feel that everybody is akin to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
