More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Consider no one a stranger. Learn to feel that everybody is akin to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The entire universe is God's cosmic motion picture, and that individuals are merely actors in the divine play who change roles through reincarnation mankind's deep suffering is rooted in identifying too closely with one's current role, rather than with the movie's director, or God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
People are so skillful in their ignorance!
Paramahansa Yogananda
I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing God to express through me His perfect love, peace, and wisdom.
Paramahansa Yogananda
To love those that love you is easy. To love those that love you not is not so simple. If you want to change anyone, set a better example. Show more kindness, more understanding, more love. That has a sure effect. To those who are not kind, show kindness. To those who are mean, show bigness of heart.
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
Ever-new Joy is God. He is inexhaustible as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging Him for any other happiness He is seductive beyond thought of competition.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The purpose of the guru is not to weaken your will. It is to teach you secrets of developing your inner power, until you can stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Loyalty is the first law of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
By the definite science of meditation known for millenniums to the yogis and sages of India, and to Jesus, any seeker of God can enlarge the caliber of his consciousness to omniscience to receive within himself the Universal Intelligence of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept!
Paramahansa Yogananda
Nothing is impossible unless you think it is.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Every tomorrow is determined by every today.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
The Bhagavad-Gita is where God Himself talks to His devotee Arjuna.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The greatest romance is with the Infinite.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
Spirit vibrated into matter hence, both Spirit and matter exist. Matter, however, does not exist in the way that it appears to us. It exists as we see it owing to the delusive force of maya, which makes the indivisible Spirit seem finite and divisible to all appearances. Matter has existence in the same delusive way as does a mirage in the desert.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Those persons who have perceptive eyes enjoy beauty everywhere.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Be kind to others, so that you may learn the secret art of being kind to yourself.
Paramahansa Yogananda
