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.

More quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Most of the world is like a mental hospital. Some persons are sick with jealousy, others with anger, hatred, passion. They are victims of their habits and emotions. But you can make your home a place of peace.
Paramahansa Yogananda
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
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
Do your best and then relax.
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
Ever-new Joy is God. He is inexhaustible as you continue your meditations during the years, He will beguile you with an infinite ingenuity. Devotees like yourself who have found the way to God never dream of exchanging Him for any other happiness He is seductive beyond thought of competition.
Paramahansa Yogananda
How you all will change the work after I am gone. If I came back a hundred years from now, I just wonder if I would even recognize it.
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
Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.
Paramahansa Yogananda
You are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.
Paramahansa Yogananda
I don't want people to think that they can attain realization simply by listening to others or by reading books. They must practice what they read and hear.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Meditation is like giving a hug to our ourselves, getting in touch whith that awesome reality in us. While meditating we feel a deep sense of intimacy with God, a love that is inexplicable.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Coercion or compulsion never brings about growth. It is freedom that accelerates evolution.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Think of Divine Abundance as a mighty, refreshing rain. Whatever receptacle you have at hand will receive it. If you hold up a tin cup, you will receive only that quantity. If you hold up a bowl, that will be filled. What kind of receptacle are you holding up to Divine Abundance?
Paramahansa Yogananda
As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God
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
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
Group Meditation is a castle that protects the new spiritual aspirants as well as the veteran meditators. Meditating together increases the degree of Self-realization of each member of the group by the law of invisible vibratory exchange of group magnetism.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
We are all part of the One Spirit. When you experience the true meaning of religion, which is to know God, you will realize that He is your Self, and that He exists equally and impartially in all beings.
