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?

Paramahansa Yogananda
Those who are socially inclined will find a new power to help humanity through the lessons of books written by noble and gifted people.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The things you need in life are those that will help you to fulfill your dominant purpose. Things you may want but not need may lead you aside from that purpose. It is only by making everything serve your main objective that success is attained.
Paramahansa Yogananda

The way to freedom is through service to others.

Paramahansa Yogananda
May Thy Love shine forever on the sanctuary of my devotion. And may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.
Paramahansa Yogananda
If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.
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
Always remember, nothing can touch you if you inwardly love God.
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.
