More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Success is hastened or delayed by one's habits.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As water by cooling and condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form. Everything in the universe is thought in material form.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Truth is exact correspondence with reality.
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
In meditation...the power of God begins to reflect in the clear waters of your consciousness.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.

Love is the Song of the Soul singing to God.
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
I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing God to express through me His perfect love, peace, and wisdom.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As God is omnipresent in the cosmos but is undisturbed by its variety, so man, who as a soul is individualized Spirit, must learn to participate in this cosmic drama with a perfectly poised and equilibrated mind.
Paramahansa Yogananda
He who has realized oneness with God possesses all knowledge contained in Him. Knowing the Lord as Beginning and End of all beings and worlds, a true Brahmin has knowledge of the hereafter and of the workings of nature on this plane of existence.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Play your part in life, but never forget it is only a role.
Paramahansa Yogananda
