God is love. His plan for creation can only be rooted in love. Does not that simple thought, rather than erudite reasoning, offer solace to the human heart?

More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
A wish is a desire without energy
Paramahansa Yogananda
Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa Yogananda
If you open the door to the magnetic power of friendship, souls of like vibrations will be attracted to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage obeying the soul brings liberation.
Paramahansa Yogananda
You cannot make steel until you have made the iron white-hot in fire. It is not meant for harm. Trouble and disease have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to destroy us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home. No one is more anxious for our release than God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world
Paramahansa Yogananda
It is better to meditate a little bit with depth than to mediate long with the mind running here and there. If you do not make an effort to control the mind it will go on doing as it pleases, no matter how long you sit to meditate.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Do your best and then relax. Let things go on in a natural way, rather than force them.
Paramahansa Yogananda
All Nature will commune with you when you are in tune with God. Realization of this truth will make you a master of your destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Seek spiritual riches within. What you are is much greater than anyone or anything else you have ever yearned for.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Never count your faults. Just see that your love for God is deeply sincere. For God doesn't mind your imperfections: He minds your indifference.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As I radiate love and goodwill to others, I will open the channel for God's love to come to me.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The spine is the highway to the Infinite. Your own body is the temple of God. It is within your own self that God must be realized.
Paramahansa Yogananda
By the practice of meditation, you will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise.
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
The Bhagavad-Gita is where God Himself talks to His devotee Arjuna.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization means to know truth through yourself, and not through others. By seeking God first, through Self-realization, all things-strength, power, prosperity, wisdom, health, and immortality-will be added unto you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
Paramahansa Yogananda
Some people try to be tall by cutting off the heads of others.
