Image
Through the portals of silence the healing sun of wisdom and peace will shine upon you.
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
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Be kind to others, so that you may learn the secret art of being kind to yourself.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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
Image
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Through every trial we grow. All suffering we experience has a meaning. Though it seems very cruel, it is like the fire that smelts the iron ore: the steel that emerges from that furnace is beautifully strong, useful for many purposes.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
It is a great mistake to regard a certain object as pleasurable in itself and to store the idea of it in the mind in hope of fulfilling a want by its actual presence in the future. If objects were pleasurable in themselves, then the same dress or food would always please everyone, which is not the case.

A wish is a desire without energy
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
As you find your soul-reservoir of peace, less and less controversy will be able to afflict your life.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
You don't know what is going to come to you in this world you have to go on living and worrying. Those who die are pitying us they are blessing us. Why should you grieve for them?
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
If you have a strong mind and plant in it a firm resolve, you can change your destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
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
Image
The Spirit of God, I realized, is exhaustless Bliss His body is countless tissues of light.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
Extend the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love, gradually including your family, your neighbors, your community, your country, all countries -- all living sentient creatures.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.
