More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Group Meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Stillness is the altar of spirit.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept!
Paramahansa Yogananda
Forget your dream-born mortal weakness. Wake up and know that you and God are one.
Paramahansa Yogananda
You cannot make steel until you have made the iron white-hot in fire. It is not meant for harm. Trouble and disease have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to destroy us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home. No one is more anxious for our release than God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you
Paramahansa Yogananda
We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings.
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
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
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
What you are is much greater than anything or anyone else you have ever yearned for. God is manifest in you in a way that He is not manifest in any other human being. Your face is unlike anyone else's, your soul is unlike anyone else's, you are sufficient unto yourself for within your soul lies the greatest treasure of all - God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The best methods are those which help the life energy to resume its inner work of healing
Paramahansa Yogananda
Coercion or compulsion never brings about growth. It is freedom that accelerates evolution.
Paramahansa Yogananda
He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
All Nature will commune with you when you are in tune with God. Realization of this truth will make you a master of your destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Little stones that are pelted into the lake of consciousness should not throw the whole lake into commotion.
