More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
The purpose of the guru is not to weaken your will. It is to teach you secrets of developing your inner power, until you can stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Happiness lies in making others happy, in forsaking self-interest to bring joy to others.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Realize that enough hidden strength lies within you to overcome all obstacles and temptations. Bring forth that indomitable power and energy.
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
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
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.

Paramahansa Yogananda
Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.
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 power of unfulfilled desires is the root of all man's slavery
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
As God talked with Arjuna, so will He talk with you. As He lifted up the spirit and consciousness of Arjuna, so will He uplift you. As he granted Arjuna supreme spiritual vision, so will He confer enlightenment on you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself. Then, you will find others responding in like manner to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
To me there is no difference between one person and another I behold all as soul-reflection s of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit.
Paramahansa Yogananda
To commune daily with God in deep meditation, and to carry His love and guidance with you into all your dutiful activities, is the way that leads to permanent peace and happiness.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization is, in fact, the only religion. For it is the true purpose of religion, no matter how people define their beliefs.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you learn to live for others, they will live for you.

If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.
