Quote

The body is only a garment. How many times you have changed your clothing in this life, yet because of this you would not say that you have changed. Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change. You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.

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
Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in his protection, His justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, and His Omnipresence... To be fit for Self-realization man must be fearless.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
The man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
We should bathe our spirits in the deep, pure feeling that stirs within us when we gaze on the glories of His creation. This is the way to know God as beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Every morning I offer my body, my mind and any ability that I posses, to be used by Thee, O infinite creator, in whatever way Thou dost choose to express Thyself through me. I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

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

Every tomorrow is determined by every today.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Strengthen your mind and refuse to carry the burden of mental and moral weakness acquired in past years burn them in the fires of your present divine resolutions and right activities. By this constructive attitude you will attain freedom.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Forget your dream-born mortal weakness. Wake up and know that you and God are one.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
From joy people are born for joy they live in joy they melt at death. Death is an ecstasy, for it removes the burden of the body and frees the soul of all pain springing from body identification. It is the cessation of pain and sorrow.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Nothing is impossible unless you think it is.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Through the portals of silence the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Through Self-realization man becomes aware of true values as to his place in the divine plan and his relation to the past, present, and future of mankind.
Paramahansa Yogananda

As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
Paramahansa Yogananda

If religion means primarily God-consciousness, or the realization of God both within and without, and secondarily a body of beliefs, tenets and dogmas, then, strictly speaking, there is but one religion in the world, for there is but one God.
