Paramahansa Yogananda
If you possess happiness you possess everything: to be happy is to be in tune with God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Coercion or compulsion never brings about growth. It is freedom that accelerates evolution.
Paramahansa Yogananda
In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.

The wave is the same as the ocean, though it is not the whole ocean. So each wave of creation is a part of the eternal Ocean of Spirit. The Ocean can exist without the waves, but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing may truly be said to be a miracle except in the profound sense that everything is a miracle.
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
Feel the love of God then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you yearn for God with intensity, He will come to you.
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
The best methods are those which help the life energy to resume its inner work of healing
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.
