More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
You are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.
Paramahansa Yogananda
By the practice of meditation, you will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise.
Paramahansa Yogananda
One cannot tell when he is going to be healed, so do not try to set an exact time limit. Faith, not time, will determine when the cure will be effected.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Behold thine immortal Self resurrected with Christ in the light of illumination, present in every soul, every flower, every atom!
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The body is only a garment. How many times you have changed your clothing in this life, yet because of this you would not say that you have changed. Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change. You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Little stones that are pelted into the lake of consciousness should not throw the whole lake into commotion.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Environment is stronger than will.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Incredible amounts of energy are hidden in your brain enough in a gram of flesh to run the city of Chicago for 2 days. And you say you are tired?
Paramahansa Yogananda
God is simple, everything else is complex
Paramahansa Yogananda
Whenever you want to produce something, do not depend upon the outside source: go deep and seek the Infinite Source.
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
The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. If, then you experience mental resistance during meditation, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego it doesn't belong to the soul.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! control the present! Live supremely well now! This is the way of the wise.
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Never neglect what you can do for yourself in the form of another.
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
When you exercise your will power you release the power of life energy - not when you merely wish passively to be able to obtain an objective.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.
