More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization may be and sometimes is attained even by people who are struggling with sick and otherwise imperfect bodies but it cannot be attained unless one can concentrate and meditate uninterruptedly upon God.
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

You have come to earth to entertain and to be entertained.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. . . Live each moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment.
Paramahansa Yogananda
You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
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.
