More quotes by 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
No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit
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. . .

The seeker of God is the real lover of vidya, unchangeable truth all else is avidya, relative knowledge.
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
To me there is no difference between one person and another I behold all as soul-reflection s of the one God. I can't think of anyone as a stranger, for I know that we are all part of the One Spirit.
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
I am a spark from the Infinite. I am not flesh and bones. I am light.
