More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
The greatest romance is with the Infinite.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansa Yogananda
In meditation...the power of God begins to reflect in the clear waters of your consciousness.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The things you need in life are those that will help you to fulfill your dominant purpose. Things you may want but not need may lead you aside from that purpose. It is only by making everything serve your main objective that success is attained.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Wise guidance never violates people's Free Will. A superior who demands obedience of his subordinates should show respect for their capacity to understand, and also for their Innate Right to their own Free Will.
