Success is hastened or delayed by one's habits.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The deeper the Self-realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.
Paramahansa Yogananda
God made us angels of energy, encased in solids - currents of life dazzling through a material bulb of flesh.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Do your best and then relax.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Discerning placement of a comma does not atone for a spiritual coma.
Paramahansa Yogananda
A wish is a desire without energy
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
The man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself. Then, you will find others responding in like manner to you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Subtle astral colors... are hidden in everything around you. Could you but see, you would be amazed at their beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Self-realization is, in fact, the only religion. For it is the true purpose of religion, no matter how people define their beliefs.
Paramahansa Yogananda
If religion means primarily God-consciousness, or the realization of God both within and without, and secondarily a body of beliefs, tenets and dogmas, then, strictly speaking, there is but one religion in the world, for there is but one God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
An artist doesn't really create anything - he just rearranges what is already there.
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
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
One may have many teachers, but only one guru, who remains as one's guru even in many different lives, until the disciple reaches the final goal of emancipation in God. You must remember this, once that relationship is formed.
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
By the definite science of meditation known for millenniums to the yogis and sages of India, and to Jesus, any seeker of God can enlarge the caliber of his consciousness to omniscience to receive within himself the Universal Intelligence of God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
We should bathe our spirits in the deep, pure feeling that stirs within us when we gaze on the glories of His creation. This is the way to know God as beauty.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
