Paramahansa Yogananda
Those who are socially inclined will find a new power to help humanity through the lessons of books written by noble and gifted people.
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

Paramahansa Yogananda
Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Never count your faults. Just see that your love for God is deeply sincere. For God doesn't mind your imperfections: He minds your indifference.
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
Loyalty is the first law of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
What you lose in the world will not be a loss to your soul.

Do not think of yourself as the body, but as the joyous consciousness and immortal life behind it.
